• Abstract summary: We design a semi-supervised grasping system that takes advantage of images of products to be picked, which are collected without any interactions with the robot. In the regime of a small number of robot training samples, taking advantage of the unlabeled data allows us to achieve performance at the level of 10-fold bigger dataset size.

• Abstract: Gathering real-world data from the robot quickly becomes a bottleneck when constructing a robot learning system for grasping. In this work, we design a semi-supervised grasping system that, on top of a small sample of robot experience, takes advantage of images of products to be picked, which are collected without any interactions with the robot. We validate our findings both in the simulation and in the real world. In the regime of a small number of robot training samples, taking advantage of the unlabeled data allows us to achieve performance at the level of 10-fold bigger dataset size used by the baseline. The code and datasets used in the paper will be released at https://github.com/nomagiclab/grasping-student.

The robot autonomously practices the task by learning to both do and undo the task, simultaneously inferring the reward function from the demonstrations.

We train a dexterous grasping policy that takes the point clouds of the object as input and predicts continuous actions to grasp objects from different initial robot states.
