Grasp Quality Measures for Transferring Objects

Abstract

There is a lack of quality indexes to evaluate grasps that are more likely to allow a hand-to-hand transfer of an object during a manipulation task. In order to overcome it, this paper presents a proposal of grasp transfer quality measures to evaluate how easy or feasible is that an object grasped by one hand could be grasped by another hand to perform a hand-to-hand transfer. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the proposed grasp transfer quality measures using different objects and the model of a real robotic hand.
