While 3D Gaussian Splatting has recently demonstrated impressive results in scene-level reconstruction, it lacks the ability to reconstruct and track individual objects with accurate poses. This limitation hinders its application in downstream tasks such as augmented reality and embodied AI, where o
Designing a robot or structure that can fold into a target shape is a process that involves challenges originated from multiple sources. For example, the designer of self-folding robots must consider foldability from geometric and kinematic aspects to avoid self-collisions and undesired deformations…
Visibility integrity (VI) is a measurement of similarity between the visibilities of regions. It can be used to approximate the visibility of coherently moving targets, called group visibility. It has been shown that computing visibility integrity using agglomerative clustering takes O(n4 log n) for
Recent innovations enable robots to be manufactured using low-cost planar active material and self-folded into 3D structures. The current practice for designing such structures often uses two decoupled steps: generating an unfolding (called net) from a 3D shape and then finding the collision-free fo…
