Parallel Methods for Synthesizing Whole-Hand Grasps from Generalized Prototypes

This report addresses the problem of acquiring objects using articulated robotic hands. Standard grasps are used to make the problem tractable, and a technique is developed for generalizing these standard grasps to increase their flexibility to variations in the problem geometry. A generalized...
