Overview

In our work we present a lightweight approach to perform grasp operation for robots. We propose 2 models in our paper:

1."GI-NNet" - A supervised learning approach employing combination of ResNet and Inception Net.
2."RGI-NNet" - A semi-supervised approach for grasp prediction, using combination of GI-NNet and VQ-VAE.

Sample Prediction given an RGB-D image as input:


Train and Evaluate

  1. Train GI-NNet model
python train_network_ginnet.py --dataset cornell --dataset-path <path_to_dataset_folder> --description run  --num-workers 4
  1. Eval GI-NNet model
python evaluate.py --network <path_to_saved_network>  --dataset cornell --dataset-path <path_to_dataset_folder> --iou-eval --num-workers 4
  1. Train RGI-NNet model
python train_network_vq_vae_rginnet.py --dataset cornell --dataset-path <path_to_dataset_folder> --description run  --num-workers 4
  1. Eval RGI-NNet model
python evaluate_vq_vae.py --network <path_to_saved_netowrk> --dataset cornell --dataset-path <path_to_dataset_folder> --iou-eval --num-workers 4
