Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a robust controller that uses contact position and normal feedback to generate contact configurations for statically stable grasps. The approach uses a context sensitive composition of two controllers that minimize force and moment residuals in the grasp configuration. We show that equilibria in the composite controller correspond to optimal contact configurations for 2 and 3 contacts on regular, convex polygons. The preimage is used to generalize the controller to arbitrary object geometries by learning a policy for compensation and to address object recognition, and contact (de)allocation.
