Hybrid Grasp

A grasp combining multiple contact types — e.g., suction + parallel-jaw, fingers + palm, or gripper + magnetic contact. Hybrid grasps leverage the complementary strengths of different contact mechanisms: suction provides initial stability while fingers provide orientation control. They improve reliability for irregular-shaped or mixed-material objects.
