The paper presents an outline of the specification of a robot controller used in manipulation tasks requiring object grasping by a multi-fingered gripper and interaction with the environment. The specification assumes that the robot is represented as an embodied agent composed of real and virtual effectors and receptors and the control subsystem. The actions of those subsystems are defined by finite state machines invoking in each of their states appropriate behaviours. The presentation focuses on grasp planning and execution.
