The application of artificial inteligence to solve a physical puzzle

This thesis presents the design, development, and implementation of an intelligent agent capable of solving a physical puzzle.
The puzzle is a three dimensional maze in which a marble must be moved from its starting point to a target cell in the opposite corner.
A control scheme is designed to enable the agent to perform the physical moves to be simulated.

Exploded Views for Volume Data

Exploded views are an illustration technique where an object is partitioned into several segments.
These segments are displaced to reveal otherwise hidden detail.
Our approach employs a force-based model: the volume is divided into a part configuration controlled by a number of forces and constraints.

Evolutionary Design of Buildable Objects with BlindBuilder: an Empirical Study

Evolutionary Design addresses the issue of automatic design of buildable structures and objects with the use of Evolutionary Computation.
This field has been growing along with the availability of more and more powerful computers.
Major achievements in this field range from evolved creatures[14, 12, 2] to the design of satellite antennas that were actually launched in space [5] and various designs of everyday objects (e.g. chairs) and/or structures[1, 9, 7, 13] (e.g. brigdes, walls, etc.).

Cloth Simulation with a Rigid Body Physics Engine

This paper describes the modification of a rigid body physics engine to simulate an elastically deformable object cloth.
Cloth is approximated as a grid of rigid body components connected by virtual damped-springs.
The motion of the cloth is simulated, by the physics engine, using discrete integration of the laws of dynamics governing the behavior of these rigid bodies.

BlindBuilder : a new encoding to evolve Lego-like structures

This paper introduces a new representation for assemblies of small Lego-like elements: structures are indirectly encoded as construction plans.
This representation shows some interesting properties such as hierarchy, modularity and easy constructibility checking by definition.
Together with this representation, efficient GP operators are introduced that allow efficient and fast evolution, as witnessed by the results on two construction problems that demonstrate that the proposed approach is able to achieve both compactness and reusability of evolved components.

WiiSticks

WiiSticks is my first attempt at combining input from a Wii remote and physics simulation. In the game the user holds 2 wii remotes (or 1 remote with a nunchuck attachment), and flips and spins a rod back and forth between 2 sticks that they control directly with the remote. The input is very intuitive, even providing basic force feedback (the controller rumbles on contact with other objects).
