• Abstract: Dual-arm robotic grasping is essential for manipulating large, heavy, and geometrically complex objects that cannot be reliably handled using a single manipulator. These large objects often contain only sparse graspable regions determined by local geometric properties such as thickness, edge structure, and gripper clearance. Prior bimanual grasping methods assume access to a full point cloud of the object which inherently contains this geometric information, but may not be accessible in real scenarios. This work proposes PartialBiGrasp, a dual-arm grasp generation framework that operates directly on partial point cloud observations. Our model learns geometric features implicitly through convolutional occupancy networks, enabling local reasoning about graspability, collision-free contact regions, and object thickness. We leverage this understanding to generate force-closure compliant grasp pairs, which are further refined using a sampling-based optimization to correct for ambiguity caused by incomplete geometry. We evaluate our approach using analytical force-closure metrics, large-scale simulation experiments, and real-world robot evaluations on noisy partial point clouds of novel objects, demonstrating robust and physically stable dual-arm grasp generation.

  We propose a geometry constrained network, termed GC-Net, for weakly supervised object localization. The detector predicts the object location defined by a set of coefficients describing a geometric shape. The generator takes the resulting masked images as input and performs two complementary classification tasks for the object and background. In contrast to previous approaches, GC-Net is trained end-to-end and predict object location without any post-processing.
