Minimal-contact grasp stability framework

A framework for evaluating robot grasps that links theory to practice. It shows that four non-coplanar contact points are the minimum for a stable 3D grasp under the hard-finger contact model, and introduces a Grasp Quality Index that combines stability, dexterity and isotropy into one task-adaptable score.
