Abstract

In this paper we discuss the pivot operation of moving an object using a multifingered robot hand. The pivot operation has the merit that its fingertip forces are smaller than those in pick-and-place operation, because an object is supported by fingers and the floor. We propose a method that calculates the optimal fingertip forces by linear programming, as well as a method for task planning.
