Speeding up continuous GRASP
Continuous GRASP (C-GRASP) is a stochastic local search metaheuristic for finding cost-efficient solutions to continuous global optimization problems subject to box constraints (Hi...

Collision-Avoidance Characteristics of Grasping
Grasping an object successfully implies avoiding colliding into it before the hand is closed around the object. The present study focuses on prehension kinematics that typically re...

Speeding up call center simulation and optimization by Markov chain uniformization
Staffing and scheduling optimization in large multiskill call centers is time-consuming, mainly because it requires lengthy simulations to evaluate performance measures and their ...

Curvature-Based Computation of Antipodal Grasps
It is well known that antipodal grasps can be achieved on curved objects in the presence of friction. This paper presents an efficient algorithm that finds, up to numerical reso...
