Abstract
Many manipulator operations eliminate uncertainty in the locations and shapes of objects by purely mechanical means. Rather than relying on sensors, or on auxiliary parts-feeding machinery, these operations use the intrinsic mechanics of the task environment to eliminate uncertainty. Effective use of these operations requires that a planner be able to analyze the mechanics of a given task.
