Multi-Finger Grasp

A grasp using three or more fingers for superior object stability, in-hand dexterity, and force distribution compared to parallel-jaw grasps. Multi-finger grasping enables force closure on irregular objects and supports in-hand manipulation. Planning multi-finger grasps requires solving a combinatorial contact selection problem, typically with sampling-based or optimization methods.
