Sensing Polygon Poses by Inscription

Yan-Bin Jia Michael Erdmann The Robotics Institute School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3891 Abstract Industrial assembly involves sensing the pose (orientation and position) of a part. E cient and reliable sensing strategies can be developed for an assembly task if the shape of the part is known in advance. In this paper we investigate the problem of deter...

A Note on the Duenos Inscription

B.C.E.,2 requires no detailed introduction; nor is there any question of surveying the immense bibliography devoted to the many enigmas — archeological, cultural, epigraphical, linguistic — surrounding this celebrated and frustrating text and the unique object on which it is inscr...

Sub-critical regime of femtosecond inscription.

We apply well known nonlinear diffraction theory governing focusing of a powerful light beam of arbitrary shape in medium with Kerr nonlinearity to the analysis of femtosecond (fs) laser processing of dielectric in sub-critical (input power less than the critical power of self-focusing) regime. Simple analytical expressions are derived for the input beam power and spatial focusing parameter (nu...
