Modular Anti-noise Deep Learning Network for Robotic Grasp Detection Based on RGB Images

Abstract

While traditional methods relies on depth sensors, the current trend leans towards utilizing cost-effective RGB images, despite their absence of depth cues. This paper introduces an interesting approach to detect grasping pose from a single RGB image. To this end, we propose a modular learning network augmented with grasp detection and semantic segmentation, tailored for robots equipped with parallel-plate grippers. Our network not only identifies graspable objects but also fuses prior grasp analyses with semantic segmentation, thereby boosting grasp detection precision. Significantly, our design exhibits resilience, adeptly handling blurred and noisy visuals. Key contributions encompass a trainable network for grasp detection from RGB images, a modular design facilitating feasible grasp implementation, and an architecture robust against common image distortions. We demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of our proposed approach through practical experiments and evaluations.
