Abstract

This paper discusses grasping and manipulating multiple objects by an enveloping style. We formulate the motion constraint for enveloping multiple objects under rolling contacts. We further provide a sufficient condition for producing a relative motion between objects. We show that a three-fingered robot hand experimentally succeeds in lifting up two cylindrical objects from a table and in changing their relative positions within the hand.
