Advances in the theory of representation of physical objects will               be complemented by development of a general physical simulation                 system, and by laboratory experimentation.  The research will                   include investigation into means to link together separate,                     dynamically interacting modeling systems including abstract,                    geometric, and dynamic modelers.  The simulation system will be                 used in a number of applications, including designing high-level                language constructs and automating robot planning.  Specific                    investigations include high-level specification methods for                     physical objects and tasks (including such manipulation of non-                 rigid objects as knot-tying); simulating, with dynamics, the                    behavior of physical systems; and laboratory experiments to                     understand and verify ideas in gripping and mating strategies,                  compliant motions, and other operations in physical systems.
