Research Spotlight: Stable Grasping of Unknown Objects

How can you reliably grasp unknown objects and ensure that the grasp is stable? In this post we discuss a new research paper from KTH in Sweden. The researchers used a Robotiq 3-Finger Gripper to accurately predict if a grasp will be stable. But, in some cases, they found that the Robotiq Gripper was too good for their research!
