Caging planar bodies by one-parameter two-fingered grip** systems

E Rimon, A Blake - The International Journal of Robotics …, 1999 - journals.sagepub.com
This paper is concerned with a caging problem: we wish to surround an object B by a
multifingered hand such that B has some freedom to move, but still cannot escape the “cage” …

Caging 2D bodies by 1-parameter two-fingered grip** systems

E Rimon, A Blake - Proceedings of IEEE International …, 1996 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper is concerned with the following caging problem. One wishes to surround an
object B by a multi-fingered hand such that B has some freedom to move but still cannot …
