Dynamic Caging Analysis

Dynamic caging analysis focuses on understanding and predicting the stability of grasped or constrained objects, particularly during manipulation tasks involving motion. Current research emphasizes developing robust methods for assessing manipulation success, often using energy-based metrics and incorporating dynamic effects, such as object inertia and robot compliance, into caging strategies. This involves both theoretical advancements in modeling complex interactions and practical applications like robotic manipulation of space debris or dexterous handling of deformable objects. The improved understanding of dynamic caging promises to enhance the reliability and safety of robotic systems in various fields.
