Abstract
We present the Grasp Proposal Network (GP-net), a
Convolutional Neural Network model which can generate 6-DoF
grasps from flexible viewpoints, e.g. as experienced by mobile manipulators. To train GP-net, we synthetically generate a dataset
containing depth-images and ground-truth grasp information. In
real-world experiments, we use the EGAD evaluation benchmark
to evaluate GP-net against two commonly used algorithms,
the Volumetric Grasping Network (VGN) and the Grasp Pose
Detection package (GPD), on a PAL TIAGo mobile manipulator.
In contrast to the state-of-the-art methods in robotic grasping,
GP-net can be used for grasping objects from flexible, unknown
viewpoints without the need to define the workspace and achieves
a grasp success of 54.4% compared to 51.6% for VGN and 44.2%
for GPD. We provide a ROS package along with our code and
pre-trained models at https://aucoroboticsmu.github.io/GP-net/.
