Planning for Dexterous Ungrasping: Secure Ungrasping Through Dexterous Manipulation [PDF]
This paper presents a robotic manipulation technique for dexterous ungrasping. It refers to the capability of securely transferring a grasped object from the gripper to the robot's environment, i.e. the inverse of grasping or picking, through dexterous manipulation.
