Kinematic Synthesis with Con guration Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces a new approach to the conceptual design of mechanical systems from qualitative speciications of behaviour. The power of the approach stems from the integration of techniques in qualitative physics and constraint programming. We illustrate the approach with an eeective kinematic synthesis method that reasons with qualitative representations of connguration spaces using constraint programming.

A robotic case study: optimal design for laparoscopic positioning stands
The positioning stand could help the surgeon to position and lock endoscopic tools without the need for an assistant surgeon. The kinematic con guration of the positioning stand is comprised of two main parts, the arm (for positioning) and the wrist (for orienting the tool). The main requirement of the wrist is to perform spherical movements around the incision point. A concentric multi-link sp...

We use the compression theorem (cf [7; section 6]) to prove results for equivariant con guration spaces analogous to the well-known non-equivariant results of May, Milgram and Segal [5,6,8]. AMS Classi cation 55P91, 55P35, 55P40; 57R91, 55P45, 55P47

Many interesting and important control systems evolve on strati ed con guration spaces. Robotic systems, in particular, are of this nature. A legged robot has discontinuous equations of motion near points in the con guration space where each of its \feet" come into contact with the ground, and it is precisely the ability of the robot to lift its feet o of the ground that enables it to move abou...

متن کاملFinding Product Line Configurations with High Performance by Random Sampling
ABSTRACT Soware Product Lines (SPLs) have many features for customization. is raises the challenge to nd good performing congurations for an anticipated workload. As SPL conguration spaces are huge, it is infeasible to benchmark all congurations to nd an optimal one. Prior work focused on building performance models to predict and optimize SPL congurations; we randomly sample and recurs...
