Key Responsibilities

•Develop a novel method to identify and model the 'externally reachable' surfaces of complex, non-watertight meshes.
•Determine which parts of a mesh can be contacted by obstacles of a specific resolution, effectively filtering out internal or shielded geometry.
•Extend the Alpha Wrap algorithm to better serve the needs of robotic distance estimation.
•Create 'reachability-aware' geometry as optimized input for subsequent convex decomposition.
