regrasping

Taking hold anew

Regrasping is taking hold of something again after losing grip or releasing it.

The word appears most often in robotics and physical therapy contexts, where the mechanics of grip matter: The robot's regrasping algorithm adjusts finger position when an object slips.

More generally, it can describe any renewed attempt to get hold of something, literal or figurative.
