Dear colleagues,
We have just released our latest grasp detection software as a ROS package:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/helpinghands/code.html
git page: https://github.com/atenpas/gpd
video: https://youtu.be/kfe5bNt35ZI
The software is an easy-to-use package for grasping novel objects. Given
a point cloud, the package detects 6-DOF grasp poses for a 2-finger
grasp (e.g., a parallel jaw gripper). It works both on isolated objects
and in densely cluttered scenes, and it has already been deployed on
various platforms, including a UR5, Baxter, HSR, ...
Features:
* No object models required
* No object segmentation required
* No training required
* Grasp poses are 6-DOF (allows a variety of grasp approach directions)
* Can use any point cloud (better point clouds results in better
performance)
* Visualization in rviz or pcl
Requirements:
* RGBD camera, Nvidia graphics card with CUDA
* Caffe, PCL 1.7 or higher, Eigen
* Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS Indigo or Ubuntu 16.04 with ROS Kinetic
Check it out!
