MS5
CAGD in Kinematics/Robotics

10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Room: Cheekwood

Computer-aided geometric design techniques are applied to the shape of objects -- but the same techniques can also be used for motion design. In recent years, new methods have been developed for addressing engineering problems that involve motion, such as control of robots and numerically controlled machine tools and the analysis of kinematics of mechanisms and machines. Still other applications of motion design methods are visualization of rigid body motions, the generation of camera movements, and virtual reality. The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss different aspects of motion design, motion description, and applications.
