— This paper addresses the problem of testing whether three contact points form a 3-fingered force-closure grasp in two dimensions. In particular, assuming frictional point cont...
: We present algorithms for computing all placements of two and three fingers that cage a given polygonal object with n edges in the plane. A polygon is caged when it is impossible...
— This paper discusses the grasp planning of a multifingered hand attached at the tip of a robotic arm. By using the convex models and the new approximation method of the fricti...
—We prove a new necessary and sufficient condition for 2D three-finger equilibrium grasps and implement a geometrical algorithm for computing force-closure grasps of polygonal ob...
