چکیده

Analyzing the accessibility of an object's surface to probes or tools is important for many planning and programming tasks that involve spatial reasoning and arise in robotics and automation. This paper presents novel and eecient algorithms for computing accessible directions for tactile probes used in 3-D digitization with Coordinate Measuring Machines. The algorithms are executed in standard computer graphics hardware. They are a non-obvious application of rendering hardware to scientiic and technological areas beyond computer graphics.

A Hardware-based Accessibility Analysis for Real-time Robotic Manipulation

This paper presents a new approach to real-time accessibility analysis for manipulative robotic tasks using graphics hardware. The workspace is captured using a stereo camera, and heterogeneously modeled with the recognized plane features, recognized objects with complete solid models, and unrecognized 3D point clouds organized with a multiresolution octree. When the service robot is requested ...

A Graphics Hardware-based Accessibility Analysis for Real-time Robotic Manipulation

This paper presents a new approach to real-time accessibility analysis for robotic manipulation. The workspace is captured using a stereo camera, and processed into a 3D model which is composed of extracted planar features, recognized objects, and unrecognized 3D point clouds organized using an octree. When a robot is requested to manipulate a recognized object, the local accessibility informat...

TO APPEAR IN IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION 1 Accessibility Analysis for Planning of DimensionalInspection with Coordinate Measuring MachinesSteven

| Quality and process control activities in a mechanical product's life cycle require that components be measured, or dimensionally inspected. Computer-controlled dimensional inspection is typically performed with Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), which are very precise Cartesian robots that use touch probes to measure the coordinates of points on a workpiece's surfaces. Automatic planning ...

Investigating the Effects of Hardware Parameters on Power Consumptions in SPMV Algorithms on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)

Although Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SPMVs) algorithms are simple, they include important parts of Linear Algebra algorithms in Mathematics and Physics areas. As these algorithms can be run in parallel, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has been considered as one of the best candidates to run these algorithms. In the recent years, power consumption has been considered as one of the metr...
