  text: Rendering novel, relit views of a human head, given a monocular portrait image
    as input, is an inherently underconstrained problem. The traditional graphics
    solution is to explicitly decompose the input image into geometry, material and
    lighting via differentiable rendering; but this is constrained by the multiple
    assumptions and approximations of the underlying models and parameterizations
    of these scene components. We propose 3DPR, an image-based relighting model that
    leverages generative priors learnt from multi-view One-Light-at-A-Time (OLAT)
    images captured in a light stage. We introduce a new diverse and large-scale multi-view
    4K OLAT dataset of 139 subjects to learn a high-quality prior over the distribution
    of high-frequency face reflectance. We leverage the latent space of a pre-trained
    generative head model that provides a rich prior over face geometry learnt from
    in-the-wild image datasets. The input portrait is first embedded in the latent
    manifold of such a model through an encoder-based inversion process. Then a novel
    triplane-based reflectance network trained on our lightstage data is used to synthesize
    high-fidelity OLAT images to enable image-based relighting. Our reflectance network
    operates in the latent space of the generative head model, crucially enabling
    a relatively small number of lightstage images to train the reflectance model.
    Combining the generated OLATs according to a given HDRI environment maps yields
    physically accurate environmental relighting results. Through quantitative and
    qualitative evaluations, we demonstrate that 3DPR outperforms previous methods,
    particularly in preserving identity and in capturing lighting effects such as
    specularities, self-shadows, and subsurface scattering.

  text: "Complex 3D shapes can be created by morphing flat 2D configurations. Such
    deformations\r\neither preserve the intrinsic material geometry (e.g., folding
    paper) or modify it through\r\nlocalized contraction. Once transformed, the 3D
    shape can be further controlled to achieve a\r\ntarget functionality. A key challenge
    is to take the material specifications and the actuation\r\nprocess as input to
    automatically design the target 3D shape and its functionality. This thesis\r\npresents
    two novel computational pipelines for the design and control of shape-morphing\r\nstructures
    used to create functional prototypes.\r\nThe first pipeline borrows from the art
    of origami to fold paper into intricate shapes and\r\napplies this principle to
    make 3D lighting displays. We introduce, PCBend a computational\r\ndesign approach
    that covers a surface with individually addressable RGB LEDs, effectively\r\nforming
    a low-resolution surface by folding rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs). We optimize\r\ncut
    patterns on PCBs to act as hinges and co-design LED placement, circuit routing,
    and\r\nfabrication constraints to produce PCB blueprints. The PCBs are fabricated
    using automated\r\nstandard manufacturing services with LEDs embedded on them.
    Finally, the fabricated PCBs\r\nare cut along the contour and folded onto a 3D-printed
    support. The 3D lighting display is\r\nthen controlled to display complex surface
    light patterns.\r\nCreating 3D shapes through folding is only possible if their
    planar configuration, called ”unfolding” exists without any distortion or overlap.
    Existing methods often permit distortion\r\nor require multiple patches, which
    are unsuitable for fabrication pipelines that rely on folding\r\nnon-stretchable
    materials. We reinforce such fabrication pipelines by providing a geometric\r\nrelaxation
    to the problem, where the input shape is modified to admit overlap-free unfolding.\r\nThe
    second fabrication pipeline extends shape morphing to soft robotics by emulating
    nature’s\r\nblueprint of distributed actuation. Inspired by vertebrates, we build
    musculoskeletal robots\r\nusing modular active actuators, employing Liquid Crystal
    Elastomers (LCEs) as shrinkable\r\nartificial muscles integrated with 3D-printed
    bones. The chemical composition of LCEs is\r\naltered to enable untethered actuation
    through infrared radiation, allowing active control of\r\nindividual muscles and
    their corresponding bones. The combined motion of individual bones\r\ndefines
    the robot’s overall shape and functionality. Our proposed system significantly
    expands\r\nboth the design and control spaces of soft robots, which we harness
    using our computational\r\ndesign tools. We build several physical robots that
    exhibit complex shape morphing and varied\r\nterrain navigation, showcasing the
    versatility of our pipeline.\r\nThis thesis explores applications ranging from
    intricate light patterns displayed on 3D shapes\r\nformed by folding rigid PCBs
    to untethered robots that use contractile muscles to exhibit\r\nshape morphing
    and locomotion. Through these examples, the thesis highlights how computational
    design and distributed actuation, integrated with novel materials, can transform\r\npassive
    structures into functional prototypes."

  text: 'We present a computational approach for unfolding 3D shapes isometrically
    into the plane as a single patch without overlapping triangles. This is a hard,
    sometimes impossible, problem, which existing methods are forced to soften by
    allowing for map distortions or multiple patches. Instead, we propose a geometric
    relaxation of the problem: We modify the input shape until it admits an overlap‐free
    unfolding. We achieve this by locally displacing vertices and collapsing edges,
    guided by the unfolding process. We validate our algorithm quantitatively and
    qualitatively on a large dataset of complex shapes and show its proficiency by
    fabricating real shapes from paper.'

  text: "Natural organisms utilize distributed actuation through their musculoskeletal\r\nsystems
    to adapt their gait for traversing diverse terrains or to morph their\r\nbodies
    for varied tasks. A longstanding challenge in robotics is to emulate\r\nthis capability
    of natural organisms, which has motivated the development of\r\nnumerous soft
    robotic systems. However, such systems are generally optimized\r\nfor a single
    functionality, lack the ability to change form or function on\r\ndemand, or remain
    tethered to bulky control systems. To address these\r\nlimitations, we present
    a framework for designing and controlling robots that\r\nutilize distributed actuation.
    We propose a novel building block that\r\nintegrates 3D-printed bones with liquid
    crystal elastomer (LCE) muscles as\r\nlightweight actuators, enabling the modular
    assembly of musculoskeletal robots.\r\nWe developed LCE rods that contract in
    response to infrared radiation, thereby\r\nproviding localized, untethered control
    over the distributed skeletal network\r\nand producing global deformations of
    the robot. To fully capitalize on the\r\nextensive design space, we introduce
    two computational tools: one for\r\noptimizing the robot's skeletal graph to achieve
    multiple target deformations,\r\nand another for co-optimizing skeletal designs
    and control gaits to realize\r\ndesired locomotion. We validate our framework
    by constructing several robots\r\nthat demonstrate complex shape morphing, diverse
    control schemes, and\r\nenvironmental adaptability. Our system integrates advances
    in modular material\r\nbuilding, untethered and distributed control, and computational
    design to\r\nintroduce a new generation of robots that brings us closer to the
    capabilities\r\nof living organisms."

  text: 'Portrait viewpoint and illumination editing is an important problem with
    several applications in VR/AR, movies, and photography. Comprehensive knowledge
    of geometry and illumination is critical for obtaining photorealistic results.
    Current methods are unable to explicitly model in 3D while handling both viewpoint
    and illumination editing from a single image. In this paper, we propose VoRF,
    a novel approach that can take even a single portrait image as input and relight
    human heads under novel illuminations that can be viewed from arbitrary viewpoints.
    VoRF represents a human head as a continuous volumetric field and learns a prior
    model of human heads using a coordinate-based MLP with individual latent spaces
    for identity and illumination. The prior model is learned in an auto-decoder manner
    over a diverse class of head shapes and appearances, allowing VoRF to generalize
    to novel test identities from a single input image. Additionally, VoRF has a reflectance
    MLP that uses the intermediate features of the prior model for rendering One-Light-at-A-Time
    (OLAT) images under novel views. We synthesize novel illuminations by combining
    these OLAT images with target environment maps. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations
    demonstrate the effectiveness of VoRF for relighting and novel view synthesis,
    even when applied to unseen subjects under uncontrolled illumination. This work
    is an extension of Rao et al. (VoRF: Volumetric Relightable Faces 2022). We provide
    extensive evaluation and ablative studies of our model and also provide an application,
    where any face can be relighted using textual input.'

  text: This paper presents a computational method for automatically creating fabricable
    3D wire sculptures from various input modalities, including 3D models, images,
    and even text. There are several challenges to wire art creation. For example,
    artists must express the desired visual as a sparse wire representation. It is
    also difficult to manually bend wires in the air without guidance to fabricate
    the designed 3D curves. Our workflow solves these challenges by using two core
    techniques. First, we present an algorithm that automatically generates a fabricable
    3D curve representation of the target based on a loss function that measures the
    semantic distance between the rendered curve and the target. The loss function
    can be defined using different pre-trained vision-language neural networks to
    generate wire art from different input types. The loss function is then optimized
    using differentiable rendering specifically targeting 3D parametric curves. Our
    method can incorporate various fabrication constraints on the wire as additional
    regularization terms in the optimization process. Second, we present an algorithm
    to generate a 3D printable jig structure that can be used to fabricate the generated
    wire path. The major challenge in the jig generation stems from the design of
    an intersection-free surface mesh for 3D printing, which we address with our inflation
    algorithm. The experimental results indicate that our method can handle a wider
    range of input types and can produce physically fabricable wire shapes compared
    to previous wire generation methods. Various wire arts have been fabricated using
    our 3D-printed jig to demonstrate its effectiveness in 3D wire bending.

  text: Achieving photorealistic 3D view synthesis and relighting of human portraits
    is pivotal for advancing AR/VR applications. Existing methodologies in portrait
    relighting demonstrate substantial limitations in terms of generalization and
    3D consistency, coupled with inaccuracies in physically realistic lighting and
    identity preservation. Furthermore, personalization from a single view is difficult
    to achieve and often requires multiview images during the testing phase or involves
    slow optimization processes. This paper introduces Lite2Relight , a novel technique
    that can predict 3D consistent head poses of portraits while performing physically
    plausible light editing at interactive speed. Our method uniquely extends the
    generative capabilities and efficient volumetric representation of EG3D, leveraging
    a lightstage dataset to implicitly disentangle face reflectance and perform relighting
    under target HDRI environment maps. By utilizing a pre-trained geometry-aware
    encoder and a feature alignment module, we map input images into a relightable
    3D space, enhancing them with a strong face geometry and reflectance prior. Through
    extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations, we show that our method outperforms
    the state-of-the-art methods in terms of efficacy, photorealism, and practical
    application. This includes producing 3D-consistent results of the full head, including
    hair, eyes, and expressions. Lite2Relight paves the way for large-scale adoption
    of photorealistic portrait editing in various domains, offering a robust, interactive
    solution to a previously constrained problem.

  text: We present a technique to optimize the reflectivity of a surface while preserving
    its overall shape. The naïve optimization of the mesh vertices using the gradients
    of reflectivity simulations results in undesirable distortion. In contrast, our
    robust formulation optimizes the surface normal as an independent variable that
    bridges the reflectivity term with differential rendering, and the regularization
    term with as-rigid-as-possible elastic energy. We further adaptively subdivide
    the input mesh to improve the convergence. Consequently, our method can minimize
    the retroreflectivity of a wide range of input shapes, resulting in sharply creased
    shapes ubiquitous among stealth aircraft and Sci-Fi vehicles. Furthermore, by
    changing the reward for the direction of the outgoing light directions, our method
    can be applied to other reflectivity design tasks, such as the optimization of
    architectural walls to concentrate light in a specific region. We have tested
    the proposed method using light-transport simulations and real-world 3D-printed
    objects.

  text: We introduce a compact, intuitive procedural graph representation for cellular
    metamaterials, which are small-scale, tileable structures that can be architected
    to exhibit many useful material properties. Because the structures’ “architectures”
    vary widely—with elements such as beams, thin shells, and solid bulks—it is difficult
    to explore them using existing representations. Generic approaches like voxel
    grids are versatile, but it is cumbersome to represent and edit individual structures;
    architecture-specific approaches address these issues, but are incompatible with
    one another. By contrast, our procedural graph succinctly represents the construction
    process for any structure using a simple skeleton annotated with spatially varying
    thickness. To express the highly constrained triply periodic minimal surfaces
    (TPMS) in this manner, we present the first fully automated version of the conjugate
    surface construction method, which allows novices to create complex TPMS from
    intuitive input. We demonstrate our representation’s expressiveness, accuracy,
    and compactness by constructing a wide range of established structures and hundreds
    of novel structures with diverse architectures and material properties. We also
    conduct a user study to verify our representation’s ease-of-use and ability to
    expand engineers’ capacity for exploration.

  text: Embroidery is a long-standing and high-quality approach to making logos and
    images on textiles. Nowadays, it can also be performed via automated machines
    that weave threads with high spatial accuracy. A characteristic feature of the
    appearance of the threads is a high degree of anisotropy. The anisotropic behavior
    is caused by depositing thin but long strings of thread. As a result, the stitched
    patterns convey both color and direction. Artists leverage this anisotropic behavior
    to enhance pure color images with textures, illusions of motion, or depth cues.
    However, designing colorful embroidery patterns with prescribed directionality
    is a challenging task, one usually requiring an expert designer. In this work,
    we propose an interactive algorithm that generates machine-fabricable embroidery
    patterns from multi-chromatic images equipped with user-specified directionality
    fields.We cast the problem of finding a stitching pattern into vector theory.
    To find a suitable stitching pattern, we extract sources and sinks from the divergence
    field of the vector field extracted from the input and use them to trace streamlines.
    We further optimize the streamlines to guarantee a smooth and connected stitching
    pattern. The generated patterns approximate the color distribution constrained
    by the directionality field. To allow for further artistic control, the trade-off
    between color match and directionality match can be interactively explored via
    an intuitive slider. We showcase our approach by fabricating several embroidery
    paths.

  text: "3D printing based on continuous deposition of materials, such as filament-based
    3D printing, has seen widespread adoption thanks to its versatility in working
    with a wide range of materials. An important shortcoming of this type of technology
    is its limited multi-material capabilities. While there are simple hardware designs
    that enable multi-material printing in principle, the required software is heavily
    underdeveloped. A typical hardware design fuses together individual materials
    fed into a single chamber from multiple inlets before they are deposited. This
    design, however, introduces a time delay between the intended material mixture
    and its actual deposition. In this work, inspired by diverse path planning research
    in robotics, we show that this mechanical challenge can be addressed via improved
    printer control. We propose to formulate the search for optimal multi-material
    printing policies in a reinforcement\r\nlearning setup. We put forward a simple
    numerical deposition model that takes into account the non-linear material mixing
    and delayed material deposition. To validate our system we focus on color fabrication,
    a problem known for its strict requirements for varying material mixtures at a
    high spatial frequency. We demonstrate that our learned control policy outperforms
    state-of-the-art hand-crafted algorithms."

  text: 'Color and gloss are fundamental aspects of surface appearance. State-of-the-art
    fabrication techniques can manipulate both properties of the printed 3D objects.
    However, in the context of appearance reproduction, perceptual aspects of color
    and gloss are usually handled separately, even though previous perceptual studies
    suggest their interaction. Our work is motivated by previous studies demonstrating
    a perceived color shift due to a change in the object''s gloss, i.e., two samples
    with the same color but different surface gloss appear as they have different
    colors. In this paper, we conduct new experiments which support this observation
    and provide insights into the magnitude and direction of the perceived color change.
    We use the observations as guidance to design a new method that estimates and
    corrects the color shift enabling the fabrication of objects with the same perceived
    color but different surface gloss. We formulate the problem as an optimization
    procedure solved using differentiable rendering. We evaluate the effectiveness
    of our method in perceptual experiments with 3D objects fabricated using a multi-material
    3D printer and demonstrate potential applications. '

  text: Tattoos are a highly popular medium, with both artistic and medical applications.
    Although the mechanical process of tattoo application has evolved historically,
    the results are reliant on the artisanal skill of the artist. This can be especially
    challenging for some skin tones, or in cases where artists lack experience. We
    provide the first systematic overview of tattooing as a computational fabrication
    technique. We built an automated tattooing rig and a recipe for the creation of
    silicone sheets mimicking realistic skin tones, which allowed us to create an
    accurate model predicting tattoo appearance. This enables several exciting applications
    including tattoo previewing, color retargeting, novel ink spectra optimization,
    color-accurate prosthetics, and more.

  text: In this study, we propose a computational framework for optimizing the continuity
    of the toolpath in fabricating surface models on an extrusion-based 3D printer.
    Toolpath continuity is a critical issue that influences both the quality and the
    efficiency of extrusion-based fabrication. Transfer moves lead to rough and bumpy
    surfaces, where this phenomenon worsens for materials with large viscosity, like
    clay. The effects of continuity on the surface models are even more severe in
    terms of the quality of the surface and the stability of the model. We introduce
    a criterion called the one–path patch (OPP) to represent a patch on the surface
    of the shell that can be traversed along one path by considering the constraints
    on fabrication. We study the properties of the OPPs and their merging operations
    to propose a bottom-up OPP merging procedure to decompose the given shell surface
    into a minimal number of OPPs, and to generate the “as-continuous-as-possible”
    (ACAP) toolpath. Furthermore, we augment the path planning algorithm with a curved-layer
    printing scheme that reduces staircase defects and improves the continuity of
    the toolpath by connecting multiple segments. We evaluated the ACAP algorithm
    on ceramic and thermoplastic materials, and the results showed that it improves
    the fabrication of surface models in terms of both efficiency and surface quality.

  text: 'A faithful reproduction of gloss is inherently difficult because of the limited
    dynamic range, peak luminance, and 3D capabilities of display devices. This work
    investigates how the display capabilities affect gloss appearance with respect
    to a real-world reference object. To this end, we employ an accurate imaging pipeline
    to achieve a perceptual gloss match between a virtual and real object presented
    side-by-side on an augmented-reality high-dynamic-range (HDR) stereoscopic display,
    which has not been previously attained to this extent. Based on this precise gloss
    reproduction, we conduct a series of gloss matching experiments to study how gloss
    perception degrades based on individual factors: object albedo, display luminance,
    dynamic range, stereopsis, and tone mapping. We support the study with a detailed
    analysis of individual factors, followed by an in-depth discussion on the observed
    perceptual effects. Our experiments demonstrate that stereoscopic presentation
    has a limited effect on the gloss matching task on our HDR display. However, both
    reduced luminance and dynamic range of the display reduce the perceived gloss.
    This means that the visual system cannot compensate for the changes in gloss appearance
    across luminance (lack of gloss constancy), and the tone mapping operator should
    be carefully selected when reproducing gloss on a low dynamic range (LDR) display.'

  text: Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of living brain tissue down to an individual
    synapse level would create opportunities for decoding the dynamics and structure–function
    relationships of the brain’s complex and dense information processing network;
    however, this has been hindered by insufficient 3D resolution, inadequate signal-to-noise
    ratio and prohibitive light burden in optical imaging, whereas electron microscopy
    is inherently static. Here we solved these challenges by developing an integrated
    optical/machine-learning technology, LIONESS (live information-optimized nanoscopy
    enabling saturated segmentation). This leverages optical modifications to stimulated
    emission depletion microscopy in comprehensively, extracellularly labeled tissue
    and previous information on sample structure via machine learning to simultaneously
    achieve isotropic super-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio and compatibility
    with living tissue. This allows dense deep-learning-based instance segmentation
    and 3D reconstruction at a synapse level, incorporating molecular, activity and
    morphodynamic information. LIONESS opens up avenues for studying the dynamic functional
    (nano-)architecture of living brain tissue.

  text: "We propose a computational design approach for covering a surface with individually
    addressable RGB LEDs, effectively forming a low-resolution surface screen. To
    achieve a low-cost and scalable approach, we propose creating designs from flat
    PCB panels bent in-place along the surface of a 3D printed core. Working with
    standard rigid PCBs enables the use of\r\nestablished PCB manufacturing services,
    allowing the fabrication of designs with several hundred LEDs. \r\nOur approach
    optimizes the PCB geometry for folding, and then jointly optimizes the LED packing,
    circuit and routing, solving a challenging layout problem under strict manufacturing
    requirements. Unlike paper, PCBs cannot bend beyond a certain point without breaking.
    Therefore, we introduce parametric cut patterns acting as hinges, designed to
    allow bending while remaining compact. To tackle the joint optimization of placement,
    circuit and routing, we propose a specialized algorithm that splits the global
    problem into one sub-problem per triangle, which is then individually solved.\r\nOur
    technique generates PCB blueprints in a completely automated way. After being
    fabricated by a PCB manufacturing service, the boards are bent and glued by the
    user onto the 3D printed support. We demonstrate our technique on a range of physical
    models and virtual examples, creating intricate surface light patterns from hundreds
    of LEDs."

  text: "Inverse design problems in fabrication-aware shape optimization are typically
    solved on discrete representations such as polygonal meshes. This thesis argues
    that there are benefits to treating these problems in the same domain as human
    designers, namely, the parametric one. One reason is that discretizing a parametric
    model usually removes the capability of making further manual changes to the design,
    because the human intent is captured by the shape parameters. Beyond this, knowledge
    about a design problem can sometimes reveal a structure that is present in a smooth
    representation, but is fundamentally altered by discretizing. In this case, working
    in the parametric domain may even simplify the optimization task. We present two
    lines of research that explore both of these aspects of fabrication-aware shape
    optimization on parametric representations.\r\n\r\nThe first project studies the
    design of plane elastic curves and Kirchhoff rods, which are common mathematical
    models for describing the deformation of thin elastic rods such as beams, ribbons,
    cables, and hair. Our main contribution is a characterization of all curved shapes
    that can be attained by bending and twisting elastic rods having a stiffness that
    is allowed to vary across the length. Elements like these can be manufactured
    using digital fabrication devices such as 3d printers and digital cutters, and
    have applications in free-form architecture and soft robotics.\r\n\r\nWe show
    that the family of curved shapes that can be produced this way admits geometric
    description that is concise and computationally convenient. In the case of plane
    curves, the geometric description is intuitive enough to allow a designer to determine
    whether a curved shape is physically achievable by visual inspection alone. We
    also present shape optimization algorithms that convert a user-defined curve in
    the plane or in three dimensions into the geometry of an elastic rod that will
    naturally deform to follow this curve when its endpoints are attached to a support
    structure. Implemented in an interactive software design tool, the rod geometry
    is generated in real time as the user edits a curve and enables fast prototyping.
    \r\n\r\nThe second project tackles the problem of general-purpose shape optimization
    on CAD models using a novel variant of the extended finite element method (XFEM).
    Our goal is the decoupling between the simulation mesh and the CAD model, so no
    geometry-dependent meshing or remeshing needs to be performed when the CAD parameters
    change during optimization. This is achieved by discretizing the embedding space
    of the CAD model, and using a new high-accuracy numerical integration method to
    enable XFEM on free-form elements bounded by the parametric surface patches of
    the model. Our simulation is differentiable from the CAD parameters to the simulation
    output, which enables us to use off-the-shelf gradient-based optimization procedures.
    The result is a method that fits seamlessly into the CAD workflow because it works
    on the same representation as the designer, enabling the alternation of manual
    editing and fabrication-aware optimization at will."

  text: "The Kirchhoff rod model describes the bending and twisting of slender elastic
    rods in three dimensions, and has been widely studied to enable the prediction
    of how a rod will deform, given its geometry and boundary conditions. In this
    work, we study a number of inverse problems with the goal of computing the geometry
    of a straight rod that will automatically deform to match a curved target shape
    after attaching its endpoints to a support structure. Our solution lets us finely
    control the static equilibrium state of a rod by varying the cross-sectional profiles
    along its length.\r\nWe also show that the set of physically realizable equilibrium
    states admits a concise geometric description in terms of linear line complexes,
    which leads to very efficient computational design algorithms. Implemented in
    an interactive software tool, they allow us to convert three-dimensional hand-drawn
    spline curves to elastic rods, and give feedback about the feasibility and practicality
    of a design in real time. We demonstrate the efficacy of our method by designing
    and manufacturing several physical prototypes with applications to interior design
    and soft robotics."

  text: "Enabling additive manufacturing to employ a wide range of novel, functional
    materials can be a major boost to this technology. However, making such materials
    printable requires painstaking trial-and-error by an expert operator,\r\nas they
    typically tend to exhibit peculiar rheological or hysteresis properties. Even
    in the case of successfully finding the process parameters, there is no guarantee
    of print-to-print consistency due to material differences between batches. These
    challenges make closed-loop feedback an attractive option where the process parameters
    are adjusted on-the-fly. There are several challenges for designing an efficient
    controller: the deposition parameters are complex and highly coupled, artifacts
    occur after long time horizons, simulating the deposition is computationally costly,
    and learning on hardware is intractable. In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility
    of learning a closed-loop control policy for additive manufacturing using reinforcement
    learning. We show that approximate, but efficient, numerical simulation is\r\nsufficient
    as long as it allows learning the behavioral patterns of deposition that translate
    to real-world experiences. In combination with reinforcement learning, our model
    can be used to discover control policies that outperform\r\nbaseline controllers.
    Furthermore, the recovered policies have a minimal sim-to-real gap. We showcase
    this by applying our control policy in-vivo on a single-layer, direct ink writing
    printer. "
