Determination of seven frictionless fixturing points searching the object surface with a homogeneus deterministic distribution

چکیده
The paper deals with the problem of finding a form-closure fixturing of objects modeled with triangular meshes and considering as quality measure the maximum wrench that the object can resist in any direction. Although a triangular mesh is a polyhedral representation of the object, the number of faces is too large to allow a practical application of existing approaches for polyhedral objects, and therefore some search procedure have to be applied. In the proposed approach the search of contact points is done looking for points directly on the object boundary instead of on the wrench space. In this way, all the object surface is homogeneously considered, while the quality is evaluated in the wrench space. The procedure iteratively looks, using heuristic criteria, for sets of points that improve the quality. The procedure was implemented and some application examples are included in the paper to illustrate the performance.

Independent contact regions for discretized 3D objects with frictionless contacts
This report deals with the problem of determining independent contact regions on a 3D object boundary such that a seven finger frictionless grasp with a contact point in each region assures a force-closure grasp on the object, independently of the exact position of the contact points. These regions provide robustness in front of finger positioning errors in grasp and fixturing applications. The...
متن کاملFixturing Hinged Polygons
We study the problem of fixturing a chain of hinged objects in a given placement with frictionless point contacts. We define the notions of immobility and robust immobility—which are comparable to second and first order immobility for a single object—to capture the intuitive requirement for a fixture of a chain of hinged objects; robust immobility differs from immobility in that it additionally...

The design of machining fixtures is a highly complex process that heavily relies on designer experience and his/her implicit knowledge to achieve a good design. The determination of fixturing scheme is an optimizing problem with multi-objective and multiconstraint. In order to evaluate the fixturing scheme objectively, a fixturing design scheme selection objective system is developed according ...
متن کاملPlanning Four Grasping Points from Images of Planar Objects
This paper describes a method for the determination of the four grasping points that are necessary to get a force closure grasp for a planar object considering frictionless contacts. The geometric model of the object is assumed to be unknown. The proposed approach starts from the object boundary obtained from the binary digitalization of an object image, and then uses the dual representation of...
متن کاملSearching force-closure optimal grasps of articulated 2D objects with n links
This paper proposes a method that finds a locally optimal grasp of an articulated 2D object with n links considering frictionless contacts. The surface of each link of the object is represented by a finite set of points, thus it may have any shape. The proposed approach finds, first, an initial force-closure grasp and from it starts an iterative search of a local optimum grasp. The quality meas...
