How to plan a proper set of contact points on an object so as to maximize the grasp capability is a common but generally difficult problem because of its nondifferentiable complexity. In current literature, subgradient method is commonly used in grasp planning. However, it converges slowly and requires much iteration to reach an optimum. In this study, we adapt the bundle trust region (BTR) method to the synthesis problem for more fast convergence and short computation time. Numerical tests validate the effectiveness of this new trial of BTR to the grasp planning.
