This paper introduces a general method for predicting the stability of grasps obtained by articulated mechanical hands. Two contact models are considered: point contact with friction, and a distributed form called the "soft finger contact". The method is applicable to a large class of statically indeterminate, as well as determinate, cases. Results from several examples are included.
