Abstract Unfolding Manhattan Towers (2008)

Mirela Damian, Robin Flatl

We provide an algorithm for unfolding the surface of any orthogonal polyhedron that falls in a particular shape class we call Manhattan Towers, to a planar simple orthogonal polygon. The algorithm...

Ethnomathematics is the study of mathematics in the works of art of various cultures [3, 4, 10, 14]. The concepts in this

Linear Reconfiguration of Cube-Style Modular Robots (2008)

Greg Aloupis, Sébastien Collette, Mirela Damian, Erik D. Demaine, Robin Flatl, Vera Sacristán, ...

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm that, given a source robot S and a target robot T, reconfigures S into T. Both S and T are robots composed of n atoms arranged in 2×2×2 meta-modules. The...

Unfolding Manhattan Towers 1 (2008)

Mirela Damian A, Robin Flatl, Joseph O’rourke C

We provide an algorithm for unfolding the surface of any orthogonal polyhedron that falls into a particular shape class we call Manhattan Towers, to a nonoverlapping planar orthogonal polygon. The...

Abstract Connecting Polygonizations via Stretches and Twangs: Abstract 17th Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry, 2007 (2008)

Mirela Damian, Robin Flatl

We show that the space of polygonizations of a fixed planar point set S of n points is connected by O(n 2) “moves ” between simple polygons. Each move is composed of a sequence of atomic moves...

17th Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry, 2007 A New Lower Bound on Guard Placement for Wireless Localization ∗ (2008)

Mirela Damian, Robin Flatl

The problem of wireless localization introduced in [EGS07] asks to place a set of fixed localizers (guards) in the plane so as to enable mobile communication devices to prove that they are inside or...

Linear Reconfiguration of Cube-Style Modular Robots (2008)

Greg Aloupis, Sébastien Collette, Mirela Damian, Erik D. Demaine, Robin Flatl, ...

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for both contracting and expanding cube-style modular robots which reconfigures any given source robot composed of n atoms into any given target robot with...

Grid Vertex-Unfolding Orthogonal Polyhedra (2006)

Mirela Damian, Robin Flatl

An edge-unfolding of a polyhedron is produced by cutting along edges and flattening the faces to a net, a connected planar piece with no overlaps. A grid unfolding allows additional cuts along grid...

Epsilon-Unfolding Orthogonal Polyhedra

Mirela Damian, Robin Flatl

Abstract. An unfolding of a polyhedron is produced by cutting the surface and flattening to a single, connected, planar piece without overlap (except possibly at boundary points). It is a long...
