  • a note on local influence based on Normal Curvature
    Journal of The Royal Statistical Society Series B-statistical Methodology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Wing K Fung, C W Kwan
    Abstract:

    SUMMARY Object functions other than the likelihood displacement, such as a parameter estimate or a test statistic, can also be used in local influence analysis. The Normal Curvatures of these object functions have been studied in situations where the slopes were non-zero. In these situations, we show that the Normal Curvature is not scale invariant and thus ambiguous conclusions will be drawn. Comments on the application of the general Normal Curvature formula are presented.

  • Exploration of unknown object by active touch of robot hand
    International Journal of Control Automation and Systems, 2020
    Co-Authors: Mina Choi, Hyungpil Moon, Hyouk Ryeol Choi
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes a method of exploring the local shape of an unknown object using the force and torque information obtained from active touch. In the first, we present a method to estimate an unknown Curvature, using rolling and sliding motion with a force/torque sensor attached to the fingertip of the hand. Then, the Normal Curvature equation from 2D Curvatures is obtained. Finally we present a reconstruction algorithm of local geometry by using a Normal Curvature equation, which is composed of principal Curvatures and principal directions. The method is tested by using a hand-arm system consisting of an industrial robot arm and an anthropomorphic robot hand with 6-axis force/torque sensor. The feasibility of the proposed method is experimentally validated for objects with simple geometries such as cylinder, spheres etc.

  • Exploration and reconstruction of unknown object by active touch of robot hand
    Intelligent Service Robotics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Yong Bum Kim, W S You, Gitae Kang, Gun Kyu Yee, Anna Kim, Fengyi Liu, Young Hun Lee, Ja Choon Koo, Hyungpil Moon, Hyouk Ryeol Choi
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes a method of exploring the global shape of an unknown object using information on local geometric features. In the first, we introduce a rolling and sliding motion of a fingertip with a force/torque sensor to estimate an unknown local Curvature. Also, a recognition algorithm for local geometry using Normal Curvature equations is presented, which are composed of principal Curvatures and principal direction. Finally, to reconstruct the global shape of the object, we propose an interpolation method using principal Curvatures at contact points. The proposed method is verified using a hand-arm system consisting of an industrial robot arm and an anthropomorphic robot hand with a 6-axis force/torque sensor. The effectiveness of the proposed method is experimentally validated for different type of objects.

  • critical curves for the total Normal Curvature in surfaces of 3 dimensional space forms
    Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2012
    Co-Authors: Manuel Barros, Oscar J Garay
    Abstract:

    Abstract A variational problem closely related to the bending energy of curves contained in surfaces of real 3-dimensional space forms is considered. We seek curves in a surface which are critical for the total Normal Curvature energy (and its generalizations). We start by deriving the first variation formula and the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equations of these energies and apply them to study critical special curves (geodesics, asymptotic lines, lines of Curvature) on surfaces. Then, we show that a rotation surface in a real space form for which every parallel is a critical curve must be a special type of a linear Weingarten surface. Finally, we give some classification and existence results for this family of rotation surfaces.
