Paper Summary

The article discusses how a robot hand can be planned to grasp or not grasp objects. The researchers created a new method to help a robot hand figure out the best way to hold an object, whether by grasping it or not. This new method, called GraspIt!, helps the robot hand choose the right configuration for different tasks involving objects.
