Omnidirectional Shape-from-Motion for Autonomous Navigation
Algorithms for shape-from-motion simultaneously estimate camera motion and scene structure. When extended to omnidirectional cameras, shape-from-motion algorithms are likely to provide robust motion estimates, in particular, because of the camera’s wide field of view and lack of degenerate motions. In this paper, we present two shapefrom-motion algorithms and a precise calibration technique for...
متن کاملAnalysis of Shape Optimization for Magnetic Microswimmers
We analyze an infinite dimensional, geometrically constrained shape optimization problem for magnetically driven microswimmers (locomotors) in three-dimensional (3-D) Stokes flow and give a well-posed descent scheme for computing optimal shapes. The problem is inspired by recent experimental work in this area. We show the existence of a minimizer of the optimization problem using analytical too...
متن کاملShape Shifting: Local Landmarks Interfere With Navigation by, and Recognition of, Global Shape
An influential theory of spatial navigation states that the boundary shape of an environment is preferentially encoded over and above other spatial cues, such that it is impervious to interference from alternative sources of information. We explored this claim with 3 intradimensional-extradimensional shift experiments, designed to examine the interaction of landmark and geometric features of th...
متن کاملAsymmetry and stability of shape kinematics in microswimmers' motion.
Many swimming microorganisms governed by low Reynolds number hydrodynamics utilize flagellar undulations for self-propulsion. Most of the existing theoretical models assume that the shape kinematics is directly controlled, while in reality, eukaryotes actuate internal bending moments along their flagellum. Under this control, the shape is dynamically evolving and periodic gaits may become unsta...
متن کاملShape-Shifting Droplet Networks.
We consider a three-dimensional network of aqueous droplets joined by single lipid bilayers to form a cohesive, tissuelike material. The droplets in these networks can be programed to have distinct osmolarities so that osmotic gradients generate internal stresses via local fluid flows to cause the network to change shape. We discover, using molecular dynamics simulations, a reversible folding-u...
