            Abstract : 
The authors propose a sophisticated control software based on blackboard architecture for dextrous relocation-based manipulation synthesis using robot hands. An analysis of the suitability of such a blackboard architecture to relocation-based dexterous manipulation is addressed in detail. It is shown that the control software is capable of autonomous decision-making and can provide human-like variable grain-size common-sense reasoning and analysis while performing grasping or manipulation operations using robot hands
