Dynamic regrasping by coordinated control of sliding for a multifingered hand

The authors consider the problem of grasp choice for an object held within a multifingered hand from the viewpoint of avoiding collisions between the manipulator links and the object during trajectory execution. A grasp planner is provided in the form of an algorithm that checks the feasibility of a given object trajectory and provides an envelope of feasible contact positions. During execution of the trajectory, contact positions of the fingertips on the object can be changed by sliding the fingertip along the object surface in a controlled manner. A dynamic control law that achieves this is presented and integrated with the grasp planner to determine a dynamic regrasping algorithm, which is illustrated by simulation.<<ETX>>
