Abstract

Grasping and object manipulation is a key element of intelligent behavior. Many innovative cyberphysical systems involve some kind of object grasp and manipulation, to the extent that grasping has been recognized as a critical technology for the next generation industrial systems. In this survey, we aim to draw a broad landscape of applications and current research trends and topics relating to grasping techniques and tools. Applications range from biomedical and surgical to industrial warehouse pick and place tasks, covering a wide range of spatial scales, from micro to macro scales. The resources involved and research lines under development include the latest computational intelligence tools as well as the research on new materials and devices for sensing and actuation.
