Hairpin lengthening: algorithmic results.

We consider here a new variant of the hairpin completion, called hairpin lengthening, which seems more appropriate for practical implementation. The variant considered here concerns the lengthening of the word that forms a hairpin structure, such that this structure is preserved, without necessarily completing the hairpin. Although our motivation is based on biological phenomena, the present paper is more about some algorithmic properties of this operation. Finally, we propose an algorithm for computing the hairpin lengthening distance between two words in quadratic time.

Integration of robotic inverse kinematic routines in an algorithmic 3D modeling software

An industrial manipulator equipped with an automatic clay extruder is used to realize a machine that can manufacture additively clay objects. The desired geometries are designed by means of a 3D modeling software and then sliced in a sequence of layers with the same thickness of the extruded clay section. The profiles of each layer are transformed in trajectories for the extruder and therefore for the end-effector of the manipulator. The goal of this thesis is to improve the algorithm for the inverse kinematic resolution and the integration of the routine within the development software that controls the machine (Rhino/Grasshopper). The kinematic model is described by homogeneous transformations, adopting the Denavit-Hartenberg standard convention. The function is implemented in C# and it has been preliminarily tested in Matlab. The outcome of this work is a substantial reduction of the computation time relative to the execution of the algorithm, which is halved.
