Conference Paper, Proceedings of (ICRA) International Conference on Robotics and Automation, pp. 544 - 548, March, 1985

Abstract

Many manipulator operations eliminate uncertainty in the locations and shapes of objects by purely mechanical means. Rather than relying on sensors, or on auxiliary parts-feeding machinery, these operations use the intrinsic mechanics of the task environment to eliminate uncertainty. Effective use of these operations requires that a planner be able to analyze the mechanics of a given task.
