Benchmarking Multi-Object Grasping

RA-L 2025

In this work, we describe a multi-object grasping benchmark to evaluate the grasping and manipulation capabilities of robotic systems in both pile and surface scenarios. The benchmark introduces three robot multi-object grasping benchmarking protocols designed to challenge different aspects of robot

Enabling Grasp Synthesis Approaches to Task-Oriented Grasping Considering the End-State Comfort and Confidence Effects

RA-L 2024

Choosing a good grasp is fundamental for accomplishing robotic grasping and manipulation tasks. Typically, the grasp synthesis is addressed separately from the planning phase, which can lead to failures during the execution of the task. In addition, most of the current grasping approaches privilege

One-Shot Imitation Learning With Graph Neural Networks for Pick-and-Place Manipulation Tasks

RA-L 2023

The proposed work presents a framework based on Graph Neural Networks (GNN) that abstracts the task to be executed and directly allows the robot to learn task-specific rules from synthetic demonstrations given through imitation learning. A graph representation of the state space is considered to enc
