This book offers a mathematical analysis of positive grips, a non-frictional gripping method for articulated multi-fingered hands, and investigates the number of fingers needed to grip objects in two or three-dimensional space. The author demonstrates that most objects can be gripped with a bounded number of fingers and characterizes the surfaces that cannot. Algorithms are presented for synthesizing positive grips for polyhedral objects and polygons. The author also explores the implications of static friction and external forces on grip stability, providing theoretical insights into the design and control of dexterous robotic hands. This book contributes to the understanding of positive grips and their applications in robotics and manipulation, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in these fields.
