1 ;;Quote: robots are not dexterous

20 ;;Quote: after lose of nerve signals, can not learn new motor tasks, exert continuous force, or precise manipulation

20+ ;;Quote: after lose of nerve signals, can still perform previously-learned, gross motor tasks

30 ;;Quote: can ignore nonlinear terms in motion planning because of tight servo-control and stepper motors

31 ;;Quote: grasp stabilization needs coordinated finger activity to hold an object firmly

33 ;;Quote: dexterity of a gripper measured by its manipulability either imparting motion or exerting force

39 ;;Quote: measure manipulator mobility by jacobian transform of angular velocity and measure facility by transform of torque

59 ;;Quote: relationship between pinching the fingers and mobility varies with degree of extension from palm

74 ;;Quote: position variables are the natural choice for complex finger coordination tasks

109 ;;Quote: used linear state feedback to provide variable compliance of fingers and independent control of joints

198 ;;Quote: the fundamental finger manipulation problem is maintaining stability while controlling motion

215 ;;Quote: use secondary controllers to modulate contact forces to prevent slipping
