Abstract
Techniques and apparatus for adaptively controlling an end-effector of a robotic arm are provided. The end-effector includes at least one articulated finger having multiple facets arranged on a surface of the at least one articulated finger. The robotic arm is moved to engage an item using the at least one articulated finger. At least one of an amount of force or an amount of torque applied to the multiple facets on the surface of the at least one articulated finger is determined while the item is engaged using the at least one articulated finger. At least one of a position and orientation of the at least one articulated finger is adaptively controlled, based on at least one of the determined amount of force or the amount of torque.
