@Ken_Goldberg If you sample thousands of positions and add up your multivariate uncertainties via monte-carlo integration, you can actually come up with a probability that a grasp will succeed. https://t.co/zFBVDwaicD

@Ken_Goldberg For instance, Ken's work on modeling robot grasping really comes down to uncertainty about control, perception, and physics. The combination of that uncertainty compounds, which is what makes grasping tasks such a challenging and real engineering problem. https://t.co/7VRttPq37a
