New techniques for computing four-finger force-closure grasps of polyhedral objects

It was shown in Ponce et al. (1993) that four-finger force-closure grasps fall into three categories: concurrent, pencil, and regulus grasps. The authors propose new techniques for computing these three types of grasps. The authors have implemented them and present examples.
