We present a method for transferring grasps between objects of the same functional category. This transfer is intended to preserve the functionality of a grasp constructed for one of the objects, thus enabling the analogous action to be performed on a novel object for which no grasp has been specified. Manipulation knowledge is hence generalized from a single example to a class of objects with a significant amount of shape variability. The transfer is achieved through warping the surface geometry of the source object onto the target object, and along with it the contact points of a grasp. The warped contacts are locally replanned, if necessary, to ensure grasp stability, and a suitable grasp pose is computed. We present extensive results of experiments with a database of four-finger grasps, designed to systematically cover variations on grasping the mugs of the Princeton Shape Benchmark.
