Abstract
We present the Versatile Grasp Quality Convo-
lutional Neural Network (VGQ-CNN), a grasp quality pre-
diction network for 6-DOF grasps. VGQ-CNN can be used
when evaluating grasps for objects seen from a wide range
of camera poses or mobile robots without the need to retrain
the network. By defining the grasp orientation explicitly as an
input to the network, VGQ-CNN can evaluate 6-DOF grasp
poses, moving beyond the 4-DOF grasps used in most image-
based grasp evaluation methods like GQ-CNN. To train VGQ-
CNN, we generate the new Versatile Grasp dataset (VG-dset)
containing 6-DOF grasps observed from a wide range of camera
poses. VGQ-CNN achieves a balanced accuracy of 82.1% on
our test-split while generalising to a variety of camera poses.
Meanwhile, it achieves competitive performance for overhead
cameras and top-grasps with a balanced accuracy of 74.2%
compared to GQ-CNN’s 76.6%. We also propose a modified
network architecture, Fast-VGQ-CNN, that speeds up inference
using a shared encoder architecture and can make 128 grasp
quality predictions in 12ms on a CPU. Code and data are
available at https://aucoroboticsmu.github.io/vgq-cnn/
