The project focuses on geometry-based robotic manipulation and motion planning. The proposed research includes development of algorithms for manipulation, motion planning, and design of articulated objects with many degrees of freedom. Example objects include cardboard cartons folded from blanks, and ``pop-up'' 3D micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) made from 2D hinged elements. In contrast with work on rigid object manipulation, this research will enable robots with only a few degrees of freedom to manipulate non-rigid articulated objects with many degrees of freedom. Applications include eliminating repetitive stress injuries due to carton folding during packaging, and batch fabrication of 3D micro-optical MEMS devices for optical networks. The education plan closely complements the research program and includes development of new courses, mentoring graduate students, involving undergraduates in research, and organizing robotics workshops.

该项目专注于基于几何的机器人操纵和运动规划。 拟议的研究包括开发操纵算法、运动规划和多自由度铰接物体的设计。示例对象包括由坯料折叠而成的纸板箱，以及由 2D 铰接元件制成的“弹出式”3D 微机电系统 (MEMS)。与刚性物体操纵的工作相比，这项研究将使只有几个自由度的机器人能够操纵具有多个自由度的非刚性铰接物体。应用包括消除包装过程中因纸箱折叠而造成的重复性应力损伤，以及用于光网络的 3D 微光学 MEMS 器件的批量制造。该教育计划与研究计划密切配合，包括开发新课程、指导研究生、让本科生参与研究以及组织机器人研讨会。
