This work reviews the main techniques to model dynamical systems with contact-impact
events. Regularized and non-smooth formulations are considered, wherein the fundamental …

Assembly planning and evaluation is an important component of the product design process
in which details about how parts of a new product will be put together are formalized. A well …

Inverse Kinematics is defined as the problem of determining a set of appropriate joint
configurations for which the end effectors move to desired positions as smoothly, rapidly …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

In this work, we address the problem of 3D pose estimation of multiple humans from multiple
views. This is a more challenging problem than single human 3D pose estimation due to the …

We present an algorithm to efficiently and robustly process collisions, contact and friction in
cloth simulation. It works with any technique for simulating the internal dynamics of the cloth …

This survey provides an overview of the different approaches seen in the literature
concerning particle dam**. The emphasis is on particle dampers used on beams vibrating …

This paper describes the concept of an autonomous robot for harvesting cucumbers in
greenhouses. A description is given of the working environment of the robot and the logistics …

Many applications in Computer Graphics require fast and robust 3D collision detection
algorithms. These algorithms can be grouped into four approaches: space–time volume …

The dynamic simulation of mechanical effects has a long history in computer graphics. The
classical methods in this field discretize Newton's second law in a variety of Lagrangian or …
