• Abstract summary: We present an end-to-end robotic grasping network with a grasp. In physical robotic experiments, our grasping framework grasped single known objects and novel complex-shaped household objects with a success rate of 90.91%.

• Abstract: Precise robotic grasping of several novel objects is a huge challenge in manufacturing, automation, and logistics. Most of the current methods for model-free grasping are disadvantaged by the sparse data in grasping datasets and by errors in sensor data and contact models. This study combines data generation and sim-to-real transfer learning in a grasping framework that reduces the sim-to-real gap and enables precise and reliable model-free grasping. A large-scale robotic grasping dataset with dense grasp labels is generated using domain randomization methods and a novel data augmentation method for deep learning-based robotic grasping to solve data sparse problem. We present an end-to-end robotic grasping network with a grasp optimizer. The grasp policies are trained with sim-to-real transfer learning. The presented results suggest that our grasping framework reduces the uncertainties in grasping datasets, sensor data, and contact models. In physical robotic experiments, our grasping framework grasped single known objects and novel complex-shaped household objects with a success rate of 90.91%. In a complex scenario with multi-objects robotic grasping, the success rate was 85.71%. The proposed grasping framework outperformed two state-of-the-art methods in both known and unknown object robotic grasping.

• Domain Randomization for Sim2real Transfer of Automatically Generated Grasping Datasets [0.0]
  The present paper investigates how automatically generated grasps can be exploited in the real world. More than 7000 reach-and-grasp trajectories have been generated with Quality-Diversity (QD) methods on 3 different arms and grippers, including parallel fingers and a dexterous hand, and tested in the real world. A QD approach has finally been proposed for making grasps more robust to domain randomization, resulting in a transfer ratio of 84% on the Franka Research 3 arm.

  In the case of robots, we can not afford to spend that much time on making it to learn how to grasp objects effectively. We propose an efficient learning architecture based on VQVAE so that robots can be taught with sufficient data corresponding to correct grasping. A semi-supervised learning based model which has much more generalization capability even with limited labelled data set has been investigated.

  Deep learning has caused a paradigm shift in robotics research, favoring methods that require large amounts of data. State-of-the-art approaches learn in simulation where data generation is fast as well as inexpensive. We focus on a technique named 'domain randomization' which is a method for learning from randomized simulations.
