Abstract-A successful grasp of an object can be guaranteed when the object can never escape from the surrounding fingers during the entire grasping execution. Ability to capture an object clearly contributes to the robustness and success of grasping tasks. Object concavity is a useful geometric property allowing objects to be captured with only few fingers. In particular, certain concave objects may be captured using two fingers by appropriately placing the fingers close to some pair of opposite concave sections. Based on this intuitive idea, we address the problem of capturing concave polygonal objects with two disc-shaped fingers. We present an approach for computing a range of distance such that the two fingers can move away from a given immobilizing grasp but still prevent the object from escaping; when within this computed range, it is guaranteed under the frictionless contact assumption that the fingers can move toward each other to bring the object to the given immobilizing grasp. The proposed approach is implemented and preliminary result is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
