SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This edited book covers some of the most challenging problems on the forefront of today's research on physical interaction with real and virtual objects, with special emphasis on modelling contacts between objects, grasp planning algorithms, haptic perception, and advanced design of hands, devices and interfaces.--Jacket.
