On computing optimal planar grasps
نویسنده
چکیده
The quality of a grasp can often be measured as the magnitude within which any external wrench is resistible by \unit grasp force". In this paper, we present a numerical algorithm to compute the optimal grasp on a simple polygon, given contact forces of unit total magnitude. Forces are compared with torques over the radius of gyration of the polygon. We also address a grasp optimality criterion for resisting an adversary nger located possibly anywhere on the polygon boundary. The disparity between these two grasp optimality criteria are demonstrated by simulation with results advocating that grasps should be measured taskdependently. The paper assumes non-frictional contacts.

The Immobilizing Three - Fingergrasps of Planar
This paper addresses the problem of computing frictionless three-nger immobilizing grasps of two-dimensional objects whose boundaries are described by polynomial splines. Using the mobility theory of Rimon and Burdick, we rst develop a set of equations that describe the immobilization constraints. We then present a grasp planning algorithm which uses exact cell decomposition and ho-motopy conti...
متن کاملOn the Passive Force Closure Set of Planar Grasps and Fixtures
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 set of such grasps and fixtures is the set of external wrenches (forces and torques) that can act on the grasped object and be stably balanced by the contacts. An external wrench belongs to this set if it induces a feas...
متن کاملGrasp analysis and synthesis based on a new quantitative measure
In this paper, we present a quantitative measure of multifingered grasps. The measure quantifies the capability of a grasp in firmly holding an object while resisting external loads and/or disturbances. It can also be used for qualitative test of closure properties (form closure and force closure). For planar grasps and frictionless three-dimensional (3-D) grasps, the quantitative measure can b...

A theory for identi cation and classi cation of two ngered grasps is described and demon strated It is shown that optimal nger positions are obtained from the pairwise intersections of three subsets in the con guration space for the gripper The sets are the symmetry and antisymmetry sets and a third set the critical set of the grasp map Furthermore the three sets themselves form boundaries in a...
متن کاملA Quality Measure for Compliant Grasps and Fixtures Based on the Principal Stiffness Parameters
This paper presents a systematic approach to quantifying the effectiveness of compliant grasps and fixtures of an object. The approach is physically motivated and applies to the grasping of 2D and 3D objects by any number of fingers. We characterize the frame-invariant features of a grasp or fixture stiffness matrix. Then we define frame-invariant characteristic stiffness parameters, and provid...
