Abstract

Based on the Buss, Hashimoto and Moore (BHM) observation and a detailed analysis of the structure of the symmetric positive definite matrices arising from the friction cone constraints, the friction cone constraints are further extended into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Following this, the basic grasp analysis problems are formulated as a set of convex optimization problems involving LMIs. Through simulation studies, the simplicity and efficiency of the LMI formulation to the problems of grasping and manipulation by multifingered robotic hands are demonstrated.
