Synopsis

This book is a timely exploration into a mechanical engineering approach to an optimal gripping system for robots. The author presents a gripping technique, using a system of fingers, that can be applied to objects with unpredictable surfaces and varying external forces. This is achieved through a mathematical formula that calculates the precise force each finger needs to exert to maintain a stable grip. The author proves that finding the smallest value for this formula is an NP-hard problem and provides two algorithms to produce either an exact solution or a close approximation to it. Ultimately, this book represents a significant contribution to the field of robotics, providing a theoretical framework for the development of more efficient and versatile gripping systems.
