Geometric Motion Planning

Visible to the public Geometric Self Propelled Articulated Micro-Scale Devices

Novel techniques in micro-fabrication are integrated with geometric-based motion planning techniques to dramatically change the fundamental capabilities in applications as diverse as noninvasive surgical procedures and nano-scale manufacturing. This integration is achieved through the development of a closed-loop process that informs mechanical design via geometric modeling, constructs prototype systems across different physical scales, and conducts experimental trials to validate results.
