Abstract :
We propose a simple three-dimensional modular fixturing device and present an algorithm for enumerating all of the immobilizing fixtures of a polyhedral object that can be achieved with this device and four frictionless contacts. Our approach is based on the second-order mobility theory of Rimon and Burdick (1993, 1994)
