Antipodal Robotic Grasping

We present a novel generative residual convolutional neural network based model architecture which detects objects in the camera’s field of view and predicts a suitable antipodal grasp configuration for the objects in the image.

This repository contains the implementation of the Generative Residual Convolutional Neural Network (GR-ConvNet) from the paper:

Datasets

This repository supports both the Cornell Grasping Dataset and Jacquard Dataset.

Cornell Grasping Dataset

  1. Download the and extract Cornell Grasping Dataset.
  2. Convert the PCD files to depth images by running python -m utils.dataset_processing.generate_cornell_depth <Path To Dataset>

Jacquard Dataset

  1. Download and extract the Jacquard Dataset.

Model Training

A model can be trained using the train_network.py script. Run train_network.py --help to see a full list of options.

Example for Cornell dataset:

python train_network.py --dataset cornell --dataset-path <Path To Dataset> --description training_cornell

Example for Jacquard dataset:

python train_network.py --dataset jacquard --dataset-path <Path To Dataset> --description training_jacquard --use-dropout 0 --input-size 300

Model Evaluation

The trained network can be evaluated using the evaluate.py script. Run evaluate.py --help for a full set of options.

Example for Cornell dataset:

python evaluate.py --network <Path to Trained Network> --dataset cornell --dataset-path <Path to Dataset> --iou-eval

Example for Jacquard dataset:

python evaluate.py --network <Path to Trained Network> --dataset jacquard --dataset-path <Path to Dataset> --iou-eval --use-dropout 0 --input-size 300

Run Tasks

A task can be executed using the relevant run script. All task scripts are named as run_<task name>.py. For example, to run the grasp generator run:

python run_grasp_generator.py

Run on a Robot

To run the grasp generator with a robot, please use our ROS implementation for Baxter robot. It is available at: https://github.com/skumra/baxter-pnp
