Figure <strong>2.</strong>10. Mapping between Object, Task, and Prehensile behav-<br />

iors. Specific object properties affect the chosen posture. Task<br />

requirements of applying forces, imparting motions, and gathering<br />

sensory information can be matched by the functional capabilities<br />

of the hand. Prehensile postures can be described either in opposi-<br />

tion space terms or according to the classifications.<br />

In pad opposition, the hand can exert small forces, impart fine<br />

motions, and gather precise sensory information to match the accuracy<br />

and manipulation requirements of the task. Landsmeer’s extension to<br />

Napier’s classification made clear this dynamic component of preci-
