  • Abstract
    This study introduces a criteria-based methodology for grasp synthesis. The method allows the use of multiple performance criteria both at the finger and the hand levels, which are used to generate a preliminary grasp and an optimum grasp, respectively. The approach offers reduced complexity by decomposing grasp synthesis into manageable phases. A case study using a physical hand demonstrates the effectiveness of the method
