4 Modelling and Controlling the Compliance of a Robotic Hand with Soft Finger-pads
Compliant pads greatly contribute to increase the robustness and the stability of grasps of robot hands, because of their conformability to the...

5 Grasp Synthesis from Example: Tuning the Example to a Task or Object
Many approaches to grasp synthesis do not scale well as the desired number of contacts is increased. In previous work [223], we have presented a...
