Generalized Stability of Compliant Grasps
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a geometric framework for the stability analysis of multifingered grasps and propose a measure of grasp stability for arbitrary perturbations and loading conditions. The measure requires a choice of metric on the group of rigid body displacements. We show that although the stability of a grasp itself does not depend on the choice of metric, comparison of the stability of different grasps depends on the metric. Finally, we provide some insight into the choice of metrics for stability analysis.

Modelling and Controlling the Compliance of a Robotic Hand with Soft Finger-pads
Compliant pads greatly contribute to increase the robustness and the stability of grasps of robot hands, because of their conformability to the objects’ surfaces, the capability to damp dynamic effects and to dissipate repetitive strains, the enlarged contact areas they allow. On the other hand, besides the difficulty to obtain a precise model of soft pads, they appears not suitable to achieve ...
متن کاملDynamic Simulation of Enveloping Power Grasps
A dynamic simulation method for enveloping power grasps is presented. The method very eeectively models all major grasp conditions and phenomena to achieve a realistic simulation of power grasp. A compliant contact model is developed to solve the static in-determinacy problem in multiple-contact power grasp. A dynamic simulation algorithm is developed based on a discrete-time, state variable ap...
متن کاملA quality measure for compliant grasps
| This paper presents a systematic approach for quantifying the quality of compliant grasps. Appropriate tangent and cotangent subspaces to the ob-ject's connguration space are studied, from which frame-invariant characteristic compliance parameters are de-ned. Physical and geometric interpretations are given to these parameters, and a practically meaningful method is proposed to make the param...
متن کاملA compliant, underactuated hand for robust manipulation
This paper introduces the iRobot-Harvard-Yale (iHY) Hand, an underactuated hand driven by 5 actuators that is capable of performing a wide range of grasping and in-hand repositioning tasks. This hand was designed to address the need for a durable, inexpensive, moderately dexterous hand suitable for use on mobile robots. The primary focus of this paper will be on the novel simplified design of t...
متن کاملMinimum-Deflection Grasps and Fixtures
This paper presents an approach to planning compliant grasps and fixtures in which the object exhibits minimal deflection under external disturbances. The approach, which applies to general twoand threedimensional grasps and fixtures represented by any quasirigid compliance model, employs a quality measure that characterizes the grasped or fixtured object’s worst-case deflection caused by distu...
