Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of characterizing robot grasps for unmodeled objects. We propose a set of intrinsic object features that are computed from the object image and the geometry of the robot hand. These features are validated by feeding them to neural networks which are trained with experimental data obtained with a humanoid robot. The results suggest that our features are actually suitable for predicting the reliability of a grip.
