Based on the concept of required external force set, we define required acceleration and equilibrium-force sets. By using the sets, we formulate an optimization problem from the viewpoint of decreasing the magnitudes of the joint torques required to generate the required acceleration and equilibrium-force. We also show that we can solve the problem by using a branch-and-bound method. The validity of our approach is shown by numerical examples.}, pages = {338--343}, title = {Optimization of Grasping an Object by Using Required Acceleration and Equilibrium-Force Sets}, year = {2003} }
