robotic grasping

Robotic grasping refers to a robot's ability to pick up, hold, and manipulate objects. It involves sensors to perceive the object's size, shape, and texture, and algorithms to determine the best way to grip the object securely without damaging it. The robot’s end-effector, or "hand," often uses various grip strategies—like wrapping fingers around an item or pinching it—to achieve stability. Effective grasping is crucial for tasks like manufacturing, logistics, and service robots, enabling automation that interacts safely and efficiently with a wide range of objects in dynamic environments.
