A Benchmarking Study of Vision-Based Robotic Grasping Algorithms

Bharath Kumar Ramesh Babu, Sumukh Sreenivasarao Balakrishna, Brian Flynn, Vinayak Kapoor, Adam Norton, Holly Yanco +1

ICRA 2026poster

We present a benchmarking study of vision-based robotic grasping algorithms with distinct approaches, and pro- vide a comparative analysis. In particular, we compare two machine-learning-based and two analytical algorithms using an existing benchmarking protocol from the literature and deter- mine t…

Going Cognitive: A Demonstration of the Utility of Task-General Cognitive Architectures for Adaptive Robotic Task Performance

Tyler Frasca, Zhao Han, Jordan Allspaw, Holly Yanco, Matthias Scheutz

IROS 2020poster

It has been claimed that a main advantage of cognitive architectures (compared to other types of specialized robotic architectures) is that they are task-general and can thus learn to perform any task as long as they have the right perceptual and action primitives. In this paper, we provide empirica…

Open world assistive grasping using laser selection

Marcus Gualtieri, James Kuczynski, Abraham M. Shultz, Andreas Ten Pas, Robert Platt, Holly Yanco

ICRA 2017poster

Many people with motor disabilities are unable to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) without assistance. This paper describes a complete robotic system developed to provide mobile grasping assistance for ADLs. The system is comprised of a robot arm from a Rethink Robotics Baxter robot mounte…
