grasp is a software package in Fortran 95, adapted to run parallel under MPI, for research atomic physics. The basic premise that, given wave function, any observed property can be computed. Thus, the first step always determine function. Different properties challenge accuracy of function different ways. This distributed MIT Licence.

In grasp planning for a robot hand, the impact of the environment geometry on grasp choice is often of paramount importance. This paper presents a partial solution to the problem of tting a hand to an object in a given environment. Information provided by a set of ngertip contact regions or by a grasp prototype is exploited to e ciently compute the space of wrist con gurations from which the gr...

When grasping and lifting different objects, visual cues and previously acquired knowledge enable us to prepare the upcoming grasp by scaling the fingertip forces according to the actual weight of the object. However, when no visual information is available, the weight of the object has to be predicted based on information learned from previous grasps. Here, we investigated how changes in corti...

Where grasps are made reveals how grasps are planned. The grasp height effect predicts that, when people take hold of an object to move it to a new position, the grasp height on the object is inversely related to the height of the target position. In the present study, we used this effect as a window into the prospective sensorimotor control of children with autism spectrum disorders without ac...
