Learning to Pick by Digging: Data-Driven Dig-Grasping for Bin Picking from Clutter

ICRA 2022poster

We present a data-driven approach for effective bin picking from clutter. Recent bin picking solutions usually lead to a direct pinch grasp on a target object without addressing any other potential contact interaction in clutter. However, appropriate physical interaction can be essential to successf…

Dig-Grasping via Direct Quasistatic Interaction Using Asymmetric Fingers: An Approach to Effective Bin Picking

RA-L 2021

This letter introduces a new method for simultaneously singulating and picking objects from clutter. The method can lead to effective robotic bin picking, which still remains elusive despite its importance in many industrial and domestic applications, especially for objects with a thin profile. We l

Scooping Manipulation Via Motion Control With a Two-Fingered Gripper and Its Application to Bin Picking

RA-L 2021

This letter introduces a new method for scooping manipulation in constrained environments. The presented technique lends itself to relatively thin objects, with a large width-to-thickness ratio, which are commonly seen in many domestic and industrial tasks yet can cause considerable difficulty in ha

Picking Thin Objects by Tilt-and-Pivot Manipulation and Its Application to Bin Picking

ICRA 2020poster

This paper introduces the technique of tilt-and-pivot manipulation, a new method for picking thin, rigid objects lying on a flat surface through robotic dexterous in-hand manipulation. During the manipulation process, the gripper is controlled to reorient about the contact with the object such that…
