A Group Theoretical Formalization of Contact Motion
Workshop Paper, 2nd International Workshop on Algebraic Frames for the Perception Action Cycle (AFPAC '00), pp. 229 - 240, September, 2000
Abstract
The work reported in this paper applies group theory to characterize local surface contact among solids, and makes such a formalization computationally tractable. This paper serves three purposes: (1) to report a new treatment of contacting surfaces as oriented sets and to verify the consistency of their corresponding symmetry groups in a group theoretical formalization framework; (2) to give a concise summary of this group theoretical approach, from theory, to algorithms, to applications; (3) to pinpoint some unsolved problems and possible future directions.
