Abstract
We often describe our environment as a three-dimensional world. The world of the roboticist is, however, six-dimensional. He must not only consider the position of an object, but also its orientation. When a robot gripper or end-effector is approaches an object to be grasped, the space angles between the gripper and the object are of the utmost importance.
