In this paper, the design of geometrical shapes of function carriers and their layout in given space is called configuration design. The constraint satisfaction problem in configuration design may be difficult to solve due to the lack of tight constraints and the countless combinations of the layout; a diversity of solutions that satisfy the constraints should be allowed. Therefore, to allow su...

This paper presents a configuration manifold embedding model that provides a new approach to dynamic model reduction and adaptive control of redundant robotic systems. The proposed model is developed based on a geometrical and topological analysis of configuration manifolds (C-manifolds) hidden behind every robotic dynamic system that commonly obeys the Lagrange equation. With a detailed study ...

The experiments reported herein probe the visual cortical mechanisms that control near-far percepts in response to two-dimensional stimuli. Figural contrast is found to be a principal factor for the emergence of percepts of near versus far in pictorial stimuli, especially when stimulus duration is brief. Pictorial factors such as interposition (Experiment 1) and partial occlusion (Experiments 2...

In this investigation, the multi-objective selection and optimization of a gantry machine tool is achieved by analytic hierarchy process, multi-objective genetic algorithm, and Pareto-Edgeworth-Grierson–multi-criteria decision-making method. The objectives include maximum static deformation, the first four natural frequencies, mass, and fabrication cost of the gantry. Further structural optimiz...

This paper presents a novel sensing configuration for retinal physiology analysis, using two microelectrode arrays (MEAs). In order to investigate an optimized stimulation protocol for a sub-retinal prosthesis, retinal photoreceptor cells are stimulated, and the response of retinal ganglion cells is recorded in an in vitro environment. For photoreceptor cell stimulation, a polyimide-substrate M...

Sensor fusion can be used to recover 3D pose and to analyze spatial configuration of object parts. The goal of this project is to develop a sensor fusion method using vision sensors (stereo cameras, color vision). This project addresses the visual tracking problem for a rigid-articulated object using a known geometrical and kinematical model. This model provides us with useful information about...

Partitioning the configuration space of a mobile robot is essential for the robot path planning task. However, most existing techniques either rely upon precise geometrical descriptions of the environment, or are static by nature. In this paper we propose a method by which the robot dynamically builds a Voronoi tessellation of its configuration space. In order to do this, we apply an adaptive -...

The magnetic nanostructure of epitaxial FCC Co/Cuð0 0 1Þ circular elements (B1:7 mm in diameter) has been imaged with scanning electron microscopy with polarisation analysis. A closed flux configuration (quadrant configuration) is observed for most of the disks, characteristic of systems with cubic anisotropy. However, the measured width of the 90 domain wall varies with the distance from the v...

We investigate the structure of the configuration space of gauge theories and its description in terms of the set of absolute minima of certain Morse functions on the gauge orbits. The set of absolute minima that is obtained when the background connection is a pure gauge is shown to be isomorphic to the orbit space of the pointed gauge group. We also show that the stratum of irreducible orbits ...
