Reality-Based Modeling with ACME: A Progress Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the current state of ACME, the UBC Active Measurement facility, a telerobotic facility designed for building computational models of everyday physical objects. We show how ACME is being used to acquire models of contact texture (including friction and roughness), contact sounds, and contact deformation.

ACME, A Telerobotic Active Measurement Facility
We are developing a robotic measurement facility which makes it very easy to build “reality-based” models, i.e., computational models of existing, physical objects based on actual measurements. These include not only models of shape, but also reflectance, contact forces, and sound. Such realistic models are crucial in many applications, including telerobotics, virtual reality, computer-assisted...
متن کاملACME, A Telerobotic Measurement Facility for Reality-Based Modelling on the Internet
The Active Measurement Facility (ACME) is an integrated robotic facility designed to acquire rich measurements from objects of moderate size, for the purpose of building accurate computational models. ACME is a telerobotic system with fteen degrees of freedom, and can be controlled from any remote location on the world wide web. We provide a brief overview of ACME, followed by aspects of telepr...
متن کاملA Model Integrated Framework for Designing Self-managing Computing Systems
This paper presents a model integrated framework, referred to as the Automatic Control Modeling Environment (ACME), to facilitate the use of control-based technology for selfmanagement in computation systems. ACME is a domainspecific graphical modeling environment with automated synthesis tools. The framework allows domain engineers to develop models for general computation systems and to captu...
متن کاملWorkflow Interoperability Standards for the Internet
Business-to-business integration is transforming the market and has already begun to increase the efficiency of those companies involved. The first step, integration of data, began with Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) in the 1980s. The second step, integration of process information, is only now beginning to emerge. Consider a fictitious company, Acme Manufacturing, that ships its products vi...
متن کاملRobotic Mapping of Friction and Roughness for Reality-based Modeling
This paper discusses the robotic acquisition and characterization of surface friction and roughness for real-world objects. Our motivation is the construction of detailed “reality-based” models for existing objects that can be used in haptic displays and other applications involving simulation. A key challenge addressed in this paper is the acquisition of these surface properties on real object...
