Boeing VPS 1: Collision Detection
"The Voxmap Point-Shell (VPS) system from Boeing is a collision detection library that is optimized for use with haptic interfaces. VPS allows the haptic device to manipulate and move arbitrarily shaped objects through a scene. This is particularly useful assembly path planning and maintenance path planning for manufacturing and design. This is where an assembly must be tested to see if replacement parts can be fit through the assembly. .
