Dexterous Manipulation: Measuring dexterity and flexibility of Robot Grippers

Dexterity and flexibility are the new emerging trend in robotics. With the arrival of collaborative robots and new adaptive end effectors, a major concern was put forward in the Workshop held by the National Institute of Standard and Technologies (NIST) at Automate 2013. It was about how could we characterize flexibility or dexterity among all the possible solutions. When it will be time to choose between two products, what features should we compare to make the best choice? During the discussions, some interesting points were mentioned.
