• Title: SafePicking: Learning Safe Object Extraction via Object-Level Mapping
• Authors: Kentaro Wada, Stephen James, Andrew J. Davison
• Abstract summary: We present a system, SafePicking, that integrates object-level mapping and learning-based motion planning. Planning is done by learning a deep Q-network that receives observations of predicted poses and a depth-based heightmap to output a motion trajectory. Our results show that the observation fusion of poses and depth-sensing gives both better performance and robustness to the model.

• Abstract: Robots need object-level scene understanding to manipulate objects while reasoning about contact, support, and occlusion among objects. Given a pile of objects, object recognition and reconstruction can identify the boundary of object instances, giving important cues as to how the objects form and support the pile. In this work, we present a system, SafePicking, that integrates object-level mapping and learning-based motion planning to generate a motion that safely extracts occluded target objects from a pile. Planning is done by learning a deep Q-network that receives observations of predicted poses and a depth-based heightmap to output a motion trajectory, trained to maximize a safety metric reward. Our results show that the observation fusion of poses and depth-sensing gives both better performance and robustness to the model. We evaluate our methods using the YCB objects in both simulation and the real world, achieving safe object extraction from piles.

  We focus on object pose estimation. Our approach relies on three pieces of information: multiple views of the object, the camera's parameters at those viewpoints, and 3D CAD models of objects. We show that the estimated object pose results in 99.65% grasp accuracy with the ground truth grasp candidates.

  "Hypothesize, Simulate, Act, Update, and Repeat" (H-SAUR) is a probabilistic generative framework that generates hypotheses about how objects articulate given input observations. We show that the proposed model significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art articulated object manipulation framework. We further improve the test-time efficiency of H-SAUR by integrating a learned prior from learning-based vision models.

  Training agents to manipulate objects, poses many challenges. We propose an approach that explores the environment in search for target objects, computes their 3D coordinates once they are located, and then continues to estimate their 3D locations even when the objects are not visible. Our evaluations show a massive 3x improvement in success rate over a model that has access to the same sensory suite.
