Computing 4-Fingered Force-Closure Grasps from surface Points Using Genetic Algorithm

This paper proposes an evolutionary computation method to compute force-closure grasps from surface points. The object is presented as set of points. The proposed method searches for grasping configurations without prior knowledge of object's geometry. The experiment is carried out to validate the proposed method. The result when compared with a random search method shows that the proposed method finds more and better grasping configurations
