Mechanics and Control of Grasping and Manipulation

 This theme concentrates on the computational and control aspects of multi-body systems such as fingers of a dexterous mechanical hand, cooperative manipulators, interaction of manipulator with passive environment and interaction of manipulator with active environment.
