The library for grasp synthesis & robot simulation

This paper provides an overview of GSL (Grasp Synthesis Library) simulator. GSL is open source library for grasp synthesis and robot simulation. The library contain the functions for: virtual robot system, grasp synthesis, 3D drawing. It was developed by the standard library and grammar in C++. In this paper, we discuss characteristics of GSL, and a brief overview of a robot simulation using GSL.
