Abstract : This paper reports results obtained from a reflexive robot controller designed to manage the posture of a 20 degree-of-freedom (DOF) hand/arm system performing grasping tasks. The goal is to provide a framework for sensor-based controllers that dynamically optimize the kinematic configuration of the robot to improve performance on the grasping task. We will present such a behavior and illustrate how it is used to suppress local errors in a priori models.,
