Point set interference check method and system

A robot interference checking motion planning technique using point sets. The technique uses CAD models of robot arms and obstacles and converts the CAD models to 3D point sets. The 3D point set coordinates are updated at each time step based on robot and obstacle motion.

The 3D grid space indices are converted to 1D indices and the 1D indices are stored as sets per object and per time step. Interference checking is performed by computing an intersection of the 1D index sets for a given time step. Swept volumes are created by computing a union of the 1D index sets across multiple time steps. The 1D indices are converted back to 3D coordinates to define the 3D shapes of the swept volumes and the 3D locations of any interferences.

Synthesizing high resolution 3D shapes from lower resolution representations for synthetic data generation systems and applications

In various examples, a deep three-dimensional (3D) conditional generative model is implemented that can synthesize high resolution 3D shapes using simple guides—such as coarse voxels, point clouds, etc.—by marrying implicit and explicit 3D representations into a hybrid 3D representation. The present approach may directly optimize for the reconstructed surface, allowing for the synthesis of finer geometric details with fewer artifacts. The systems and methods described herein may use a deformable tetrahedral grid that encodes a discretized signed distance function (SDF) and a differentiable marching tetrahedral layer that converts the implicit SDF representation to an explicit surface mesh representation. This combination allows joint optimization of the surface geometry and topology as well as generation of the hierarchy of subdivisions using reconstruction and adversarial losses defined explicitly on the surface mesh.
