Abstract—Some in-parallel robots, such as the 3-2-1 and the 3/2 manipulators, have attracted attention because their forward kinematics can be solved by three consecutive trilaterations. In this paper, we identify a class of these robots,... more
We show that the inclusion of topological lagrangians in non-linear sigma models introduces certain topological non-trivial abelian background fields in the configuration space of these theories. In particular, the Hopf and the... more

An example of mechanical system whose configuration space is direct product of a curved space and the local group of rotations, is presented. The system is considered as a model of spinning particle moving in the space. The Hamiltonian... more
This paper presents a generalization of symplectic geometry to a principal bundle over the configuration space of a classical field. This bundle, the vertically adapted linear frame bundle, is obtained by breaking the symmetry of the full... more
We derive the q-deformation of the chiral Gross-Taylor holomorphic string large N expansion of two dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. Delta functions on symmetric group algebras are replaced by the corresponding objects (canonical trace... more
We describe the representation of the chemical affinity between the antigen-combining site of the immunoglobulin molecule and the antigen molecule as the probability of the two molecules existing in a bound state. Our model is based on... more
Abstract—This paper describes a scalable method for paral-lelizing sampling-based motion planning algorithms. It subdi-vides configuration space (C-space) into (possibly overlapping) regions and independently, in parallel, uses standard... more
Brownian ratchets have recently been considered as models to describe the ability of certain systems to locate very specific states in multidimensional configuration spaces. This directional process has particularly been proposed as an... more
This article develops a global fields approach for conceptualizing the global arena. The approach builds upon existing approaches to the world system and world society while articulating them with the field theory of Bourdieu and... more
We study the problem of identification of a proper state-space for the stochastic dynamics of free particles in continuum, with their possible birth and death. In this dynamics, the motion of each separate particle is described by a fixed... more
We study how micromagnetic calculations can be applied to processes that involve a singularity of the magnetization field, namely, the Bloch point. In order to allow for comparison with recent experiments, we consider Permalloy thin-film... more
We present an approach to the problem of mobile robot motion planning in arbitrary cost fields subject to differential constraints. Given a model of vehicle maneuverability, a trajectory generator solves the two point boundary value... more
We define and study exact, efficient representations of realization spaces of a natural class of underconstrained 2D Euclidean Distance Constraint Systems(EDCS) or Frameworks based on 1-dof Henneberg-I graphs. Each representation... more
This paper presents a contact analysis algorithm for pairs of rigid, curved, planar parts based on configuration space computation. The algorithm is part of a dynamical simulator for planar systems with changing contact topologies. The... more
Some algebraic properties of integralsover configuration spaces are investigated in order to better understandquantization and the Connes-Kreimer algebraic approach to renormalization. <BR>In order to isolate the... more
We present a new approach to the problem of detecting point diffractors from active source surface seismic data. We formulate an optimization problem in the configuration space of possible collections of scatterers and construct a... more
The harmonic oscillator as a distinguished dynamical system can be defined not only on the Euclidean plane but also on the sphere and on the hyperbolic plane, and more generally on any configuration space with constant curvature and with... more
A concise but general derivation of Lagrange&amp;#x27;s equations is given for a system of finitely many particles subject to holonomic and nonholonomic constraints. Based directly on Newton&amp;#x27;s second law, it takes... more
ABSTRACT This paper presents a reactive navigation algorithm for wheeled mobile robots in an unknown environment populated by obstacles. The presented approach incorporates the dimensions and shape of the robot to determine the set of all... more
