Contact and Grasp Robustness Measures: Analysis and Experiments

چکیده
In this paper we discuss some aspects related to the practical assessment of the quality of a grasp by a robotic device on objects of unknown shape, based on sensorial feedback from tactile and force sensors on the hand. We brie y discuss the concept of contact robustness and of grasp robustness, pointing out that the former is an easily computable but overconservative su cient condition for the latter. Some experimental results on a simple gripper, the so{called \Instrumented Talon", are reported as an illustration.

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 کاملStable Gait Planning and Robustness Analysis of a Biped Robot with One Degree of Underactuation
In this paper, stability analysis of walking gaits and robustness analysis are developed for a five-link and four-actuator biped robot. Stability conditions are derived by studying unactuated dynamics and using the Poincaré map associated with periodic walking gaits. A stable gait is designed by an optimization process satisfying physical constraints and stability conditions. Also, considering...
متن کاملFast and Reliable Contact Computations for Grasp Planning
Grasp planning is a key problem in robotics. One of the goals is to find suitable forces and torques for an object through contact points for a robotic hand to grasp that object. At a broad level, there are two classes of grasp planning algorithms that are used to determine the relationship between the contact points and finger joint positions. The forward methods simulate the motion of the han...
متن کاملGrasping on Contact Primitives by Fingertip Surface Optimization
GRASPING is an essential ability that enables the robot to physically interact with the world. Contact-based grasping [1], which explicitly considers the contacts made by a grasp, has been widely studied to address various aspects of grasping [2, 3]. Contact modeling is one of the basic building blocks for the research of contact-based grasping. Dependent on the friction and softness at contact...
متن کاملGrasp quality measures: review and performance
The correct grasp of objects is a key aspect for the right fulfillment of a given task. Obtaining a good grasp requires algorithms to automatically determine proper contact points on the object as well as proper hand configurations, especially when dexterous manipulation is desired, and the quantification of a good grasp requires the definition of suitable grasp quality measures. This article r...
