Abstract

Computing a set of contact points between a robotic hand and an object in order to fulfill some criteria is the main problem of the grasp planning. An automatic grasp planning can produce a set of joint angles defining a configuration of the robotic hand. The huge number of solutions that satisfy a good grasp is the main difficulty of such a planner. In this paper, we represent the grasp planning problem as an optimization problem and we propose a new algorithm based on a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique. To generate the positions of the fingertips, the kinematic of the hand is modeled. Therefore, a simple PSO algorithm is described to optimize the workspace of the operating hand based on a quality of measure of the grasp. The simulation results support the effectiveness of our approach.
