| Abstract: | Inspired by human grasping behaviour, use of hand preshapes has for some time been recognised as a useful way of reducing the complexity of planning dextrous hand gasps. It is common for preshapes to be chosen and fitted to the object using coarse object characteristics. In this paper we use range data to provide the more detailed knowledge of surface geometry required when planning precision grasps. We define sets of preshapes with associated modes of fingertip closure, and give criteria for the choice and positioning of the preshapes based on intersecting fingertip trajectories with the graspable surfaces of the object. Grasps are planned in simulation using real range data and an anthropomorphic hand model. Our results show that complex objects can be grasped using relatively simple, fast algorithms when the hand movements are constrained in this way. |
