The common method to investigate the stability of roboticmulti-fingered grasp system is Lyapunov direct method, but usually it is rather difficult toconstruct a proper Lyapunov function. Avoiding the hard work of constructing a Lyapunov function, wepropose the sufficient conditions for stability of the robotic grasp system.展开更多

The relationship reveals the differences between three types of grasps classified and indicates how the contact force can be decomposed corresponding to each type of grasp. The subspaces and the determination of their di- mensions are illlustrated by examples.展开更多

The first step is the study of the relationship between the external wrench space and the manipulation force space at any contact. Constraint force set, strictly constraint force set and normal force set are defined in the contact force space, followed by an investigation of their relationships. Based on the convexity of the friction constraints for soft finger contact, the necessary and sufficient conditions for force-closure grasps are derived. Accordingly an efficient algorithm for testing force-closure is presented. Some illustrative examples are given.展开更多
