Hard-Stop Synthesis for Multi-DOF Compliant Mechanisms
Compliant mechanisms have significant potential in precision applications due to their ability to guide motion without contact. However, an inherent vulnerability to fatigue and mechanical failure has hindered the translation of compliant mechanisms to real-world applications. This is particularly challenging in service environments where loading is complex and uncertain, and the cost of failure is high. In such cases, mechanical hard stops are critical to prevent yielding and buckling. Convent…

Additive Approximation Schemes for Low-Dimensional Embeddings
We consider the task of fitting low-dimensional embeddings to high-dimensional data. In particular, we study the $k$-Euclidean Metric Violation problem ($\textsf{$k$-EMV}$), where the input is $D \in \mathbb{R}^{\binom{n}{2}}_{\geq 0}$ and the goal is to find the closest vector $X \in \mathbb{M}_{k}$, where $\mathbb{M}_k \subset \mathbb{R}^{\binom{n}{2}}_{\geq 0}$ is the set of all $k$-dimensional Euclidean metrics on $n$ points, and closeness is formulated as the following optimization problem…
