    Study Notes

    Learning-Based Object Grasping: An Overview

    • Presentation by Dr. Alex Mitrevski, Master of Autonomous Systems, Winter semester 2023/24.
    • Focuses on learning-based robotic grasping.

    Structure

    • Object grasping primer: Introduces basic concepts and definitions of object grasping.
    • Learning-based grasping: Explanation of learning-based methods for robotic grasping.
    • Closer look at concrete learning-based grasping frameworks: Detailed analysis of specific learning approaches.

    What is Object Grasping?

    • Informally, object grasping is the process of a robotic hand picking up an object.
    • Formally, defined by finding an end-effector pose (p = (t*, R*)) that ensures a stable object grasp.
      • t* is the grasp center point.
      • R* is the gripper's orientation.
    • Can be additionally parameterized by an approach vector (a).
    • More generally, involves determining positions and applied forces for each gripper finger.

    Grasp Synthesis

    • An optimization process to generate grasp candidates that satisfy desired quality metrics.
    • Formally, given an object model (O) and gripper description, it generates a grasp candidate (C*) that optimizes the quality metrics.
    • Often uses a sampling-based approach – generating multiple grasp candidates (Ci), evaluating them, and selecting the best one.

    Grasp Properties

    • Dexterity: Finger configuration should avoid singularities and meet dexterity measures.
    • Stability: Grasped object should return to equilibrium after disturbances.
    • Equilibrium: Forces and moments acting on the grasped object must sum to zero.
    • Dynamic behavior: How the grasped object responds to applied forces.

    Grasp Quality Metrics

    • Various metrics used to evaluate grasps.
      • Researchers study compliance, connectivity, dexterity, disturbance resistance, dynamic behavior, equilibrium, force applicability, force closure, form closure, isotropy, internal forces, manipulability, robustness, slip resistance, and stability.
    • Used in evaluating grasp candidates generated by grasp synthesis procedures.

    Factors Affecting Grasp Synthesis

    • Knowledge of an object: if known, enhances synthesis efficiency.
    • Input modality: method for identifying objects.
    • Robotic hand type: gripper characteristics affect grasp candidate generation.
    • Task information: Constrains valid grasp candidates.

    Challenges With Analytical Grasp Synthesis

    • Reliance on object models: Challenges in adjusting to unknown object types.
    • Reliance on simulations: Simulation metrics might not reflect real-world conditions.
    • Slow synthesis: Computationally expensive grasp quality metric evaluations can lead to slower synthesis processes.
    • Inability to use prior experiences: Each instance is treated independently, limiting learning from past instances (less efficient than analytical methods).

    Learning-Based Grasping

    • Aims to replace, partially or completely, analytical methods for grasping.
    • Offers versatile approaches depending on learning outcomes.

    Learning for Object Grasping

    • Goal is to replace/supplement analytical methods with learned approaches.
    • Methods employed depend on the desired outcome (classification, model, policy).

    Grasp Candidate Classification

    • Learns a model to score grasp candidates based on quality.
    • Requires a labeled dataset with ground truth metrics.
    • Online application needs to generate a set of grasp candidates that the model evaluates.

    Grasp Policies

    • An alternative to candidate generation/evaluation is learning a policy (visuomotor) to directly execute the grasp.
    • The policy may use a sparse or shaped reward.
    • Sparse reward: reward only for successful grasping.
    • Shaped reward: integrates analytical grasp metrics in reward.

    Techniques Used in Learning-Based Grasping

    • Supervised learning is prevalent.
    • Extracts features from PointNet++ and DGCNN (used on point cloud data).
    • Utilizes existing datasets like ShapeNet and Semantic3D.

    Learning Data Sources

    • Learning by trial and error: Robot collects its own data.
    • Learning from demonstrations: Uses demonstrations for grasp learning.
    • Learning from labelled data: Labelled data is essential for learning appropriate grasp models.

    Next Lecture

    • Focuses on Sim-to-Real transfer.

    Dexterity Network (Dex-Net)

    • Convolutional neural network-based grasp quality evaluation model.
      • Earlier version for parallel-jaw grippers.
      • Latest version for suction grippers with pixel coordinates, gripper depth (height), and orientation for parameterization.

    Grasp Quality Convolutional Neural Network (GQ-CNN)

    • Network to gauge grasp success.
    • Input is a grasp candidate and gripper depth as aligned depth image.
      • Output is the grasp success probability estimate.
    • Learns from synthetic dataset of 3D objects and grasps.
    • Success metric (probability of force closure) is used to label candidates.

    Context-Aware Grasping (CAGE)

    • A deep neural network model evaluates grasp candidates.
      • Features task context (semantic task information, point material information) and potential grasp candidate features.
      • Architecture is wide-and-deep.
      • Training uses a negative log-likelihood loss.
