         <p>The Spatial Reasoning Group at Oxford studies problems whose solution is highly dependent on the exact shape of objects. Examples
            of spatial reasoning problems include:  
            
            <UL>
            <LI>Collision detection (telling whether two simulated objects occupy the same space at the same time)</LI>
            <LI>Path planning (working out how to move objects whilst avoiding collisions)</LI>
            <LI>Wire-loom design</LI>
            <LI>Putting together a jig-saw</LI>
            </UL>
