| Abstract: | The technique described in this paper is an application of Brost's push-stability diagram, a graphical representation of the qualitative behaviour of an object when pushed in a horizontal plane by a flat fence, that is derived from some results of Mason. We describe an algorithm that uses this diagram to calculate the minimum number of robot sweeping motions needed to put a randomly oriented planar object into a known orientation, and what these motions are. |
