Regrasp planning in the grasp space using independent regions

Abstract

This paper presents an approach for quasi-static regrasp planning using n fingers, taking advantage of a method that quickly explores the grasp space for discrete objects. The approach relies on a sampling method, which provides samples of force-closure or non force-closure grasps used to compute regions of the graspable or non-graspable space, respectively. The regrasp contact points generated assure that a force-closure grasp is always possible when performing the regrasp motions. Application examples are included to show the relevance of the results.
