Abstract: Programmable vector fields are an abstraction to represent a new class of devices for distributed, nonprehensile manipulation for applications in parts feeding, sorting, positioning, and assembly. Unlike robot grippers, conveyor belts, or vibratory bowl feeders, these devices generate force vector fields in which the parts move until they may reach a stable equilibrium pose. (Update)
