Implicit representation priors meet Riemannian geometry for Bayesian robotic grasping

Robotics 2023-04-20 v2 Machine Learning

Abstract

Robotic grasping in highly noisy environments presents complex challenges, especially with limited prior knowledge about the scene. In particular, identifying good grasping poses with Bayesian inference becomes difficult due to two reasons: i) generating data from uninformative priors proves to be inefficient, and ii) the posterior often entails a complex distribution defined on a Riemannian manifold. In this study, we explore the use of implicit representations to construct scene-dependent priors, thereby enabling the application of efficient simulation-based Bayesian inference algorithms for determining successful grasp poses in unstructured environments. Results from both simulation and physical benchmarks showcase the high success rate and promising potential of this approach.
