Abstract
Example implementations described herein may provide a pipeline from a model of a given object to a model of one or more fingertips that are specialized to grasp the given object. An example system may receive a three-dimensional geometric model of a given object. The system may also iterate over a plurality of fingertip geometries to determine a particular fingertip geometry that is compliant to a shape of the given object at a grasp point on the given object. The system may further iterate the particular fingertip geometry over a plurality of fingertip sizes to determine a particular fingertip size that is compliant to one or more dimensions of the given object at the grasp point of the given object; and the system may provide a model of one or more fingertips having the particular fingertip geometry and the particular fingertip size.
