Abstract

In this paper computation independent contact regions for general curved objects with applications to grasping is presented. The main contribution of the paper is a new statement of the grasp planning problem as a root finding problem. This is achieved due a suitable interpretation of recent results on grasping problem literature. Therefore, we propose to solve the root finding problem via numerical continuation. Simulation results are presented, which validate our proposal.
