The successful execution of any contact task fundamentally requires the application of wrenches (forces and moments) consistent with the task. We develop an algorithm for computin...

The contribution of this paper is the expansion of the range of possibilities in the analysis, planning, and control of contact tasks. The successful execution of any contact task...
— This paper is concerned with the problem of identifying robust equilibrium postures of a planar mechanism supported by fixed frictional contacts in a twodimensional gravitation...
This paper considers grasps and fixtures whose contacts react according to force-displacement laws consistent with friction constrains at the contacts. The passive force closure s...
Three fundamental problems in the study of grasping and dextrous manipulation with multifingered robotic hands are as follows. a) Given a robotic hand and a grasp characterized by ...
