A Saddle Point Strategy for Path Planning | This thesis explores a new strategy for addressing the local minimum problem. As a prerequisite, a smooth potential function with a well-defined analytical gradient is devised. The availability of exact derivatives permits the use of more sophisticated optimization methods than those typically emplo... | robots; robotics; motion planning, path planning; saddle point; c-space; quasi-newton | 1993 |

Consistent Geometric Modeling Approaches | Boolean set operations are important in solid modeling; however making them robust is problematic. This thesis summarizes the problems with robustness of geometric algorithms caused by approximated data and numerical computation and provides two different approaches to build a robust geometric model... | geometric model; boolean set; adaptive single tolerance | 1993 |
