How To Solve Any Problem Using Enrico Fermi’s Back-Of-The-Envelope Math (And Some Common Sense)

In 1945, as the first atomic bomb exploded in the New Mexico desert, Enrico Fermi stood miles away, holding a few scraps of paper. As the shockwave rolled toward him, he dropped the papers and watched ...

GDC-WED: A Novel Method for Featureless Point Cloud Registration Using Geometry Distance Constraints and Weighted Enhanced Distance

Abstract: In featureless point clouds, such as cylinder-ruled surfaces or shapes with lots of flattened areas, we observe that some classic iterative closest point variants, including point-to-point, ...

Impedance Control on Arbitrary Surfaces for Ultrasound Scanning Using Discrete Differential Geometry

Abstract: We propose an approach to robotic ultrasound scanning and interaction control with arbitrary surfaces using a passivity-based impedance control scheme. First, we introduce task coordinates ...
