Optimum grasp force and resistance to slippage

This paper presents an analysis and experimental results as part of the research into the optimal rate of grasp force application in precision grasping. It also offers the concept of resistance to object rotation in the robot gripper, which in turn contributes to the resistance to object slippage during robotic object manipulation. It is envisaged that this knowledge will be useful to researchers and designers of robotic grippers, especially those for industrial applications.
