Grasp stability analysis considering the curvatures at contact points
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new method for analyzing the stability of grasps. The characteristic points in this paper are to consider the curvature of both hand and object at contact points and the grasp with friction and frictionless contact. From this analysis, it is shown that the grasp using round fingers is more stable than using sharp fingers. Moreover, we establish the condition on the finger’s stiffness to stabilize the grasp with friction. It is proved that the required stiffness of fingers are decreased by considering the curvature. The stability analysis is greatly simplified by using potential energy of the grasp system and is of practical use.

Static Stability Analysis of a Planar Object Grasped by Multifingers with Three Joints
This paper discusses static stability of a planar object grasped by multifingers with three joints. Each individual joint (prismatic joint or revolute joint) is modeled as a linear spring stiffness. The object mass and the link masses are also included. We consider not only pure rolling contact but also frictionless sliding contact. The grasp stability is investigated using the potential energy...
متن کاملGrasping of Deformable Objects Applied to Organic Produce
Grasping mechanisms (grippers) are used for a wide range of applications including fixturing arrangements, industrial, agricultural, and service robotics for medical and home use. The gripper must immobilize the object it is manipulating , while applying the minimal necessary grasping force, in order to prevent the grasped object's bruising. Performing grasp analysis and synthesis, requires the...

In this study, the static stability of the grasp of a single planar object is analyzed using the potential energy method. Inprevious papers, we considered cases in which individual fingers were replaced by a multidimensional translational spring model, inwhich each finger is constructed with prismatic joints. Human hands and the most developed mechanical hands are constructed withre...
متن کاملContact stability for two-fingered grasps
We distinguish between two types of grasp stability, which we call spatial grasp stability and contact grasp stability. We show via examples that spatial stability cannot capture certain intuitive concepts of grasp stability and hence that any full understanding of grasp stability must include contact stability. We derive a model of how the positions of the points of contact evolve in time on t...
متن کاملStability Analysis of Multi-Fingered Grasp under Destabilizing Gravity Effect
In this paper, we deal with the stability analysis of an object grasped by fingers with linear stiffness in the case where the gravity effect is considered. The stability of the grasp is defined based on the potential energy of the grasp. The analysis problem is formulated as finding a condition of the stiffness parameters and contact points for the position of the center of gravity (COG) to ex...
