Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-A new study on Robotics - Robotics and Automation is now available. According to news originating from Cambridge, Mass achusetts, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "We present a novel convex formulation that models rigid and deformable bodies coupled through frictional contact. The formulation incorporates a new corotational material model with pos itive semi-definite Hessian, which allows us to extend our previous work on the convex formulation of compliant contact to model large body deformations." Financial support for this research came from Toyota Research Institute. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Toyota Research Ins titute, "We rigorously characterize our approximations and present implementatio n details. With proven global convergence, effective warm-start, the ability to take large time steps, and specialized sparse algebra, our method runs robustly at interactive rates. We provide validation results and performance metrics on c hallenging simulations relevant to robotics applications."
