摘要: We study the problem of fixturing a chain hinged objects in given placement with frictionless point contacts. define notions immobility and robust - which are comparable to second first order for single object capture intuitive requirement fixture objects. Robust differs from that it additionally requires insensitivity small perturbations show (p+2) contacts can immobilize any p/spl ne/3 polygons without parallel edges; six three such polygons. Any p arbitrary be immobilized at most (p+4) also /spl lceil/(6/5)(p+2)/spl rceil/ suffice robustly edges, lceil/(5/4)(p+2)/spl polygons, eight
