Presentation

Putting Rigid Bodies to Rest
DescriptionWe identify stable orientations of any rigid shape, and the probability that it will rest at these orientations if randomly dropped on the ground. We use a differentiable inverse version of our method to design and fabricate shapes with target resting behavior, such as dice with target, nonuniform probabilities.
