Core Concepts
Efficient self-supervised learning enables robots to grasp objects in cluttered environments using a combination of pushing and grasping.
Abstract
The content discusses a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) method for joint pushing and grasping policies in highly cluttered environments. The proposed approach aims to manipulate target objects effectively by developing dual RL models that exhibit high resilience in handling complex scenes. Extensive simulation experiments are conducted in various cluttered environments, including densely packed building blocks, randomly positioned blocks, and common household objects. Real-world tests with actual robots confirm the robustness of the method. The results demonstrate superior efficacy compared to state-of-the-art methods, showcasing the effectiveness of the approach in both simulated and real-world scenarios. The paper also emphasizes reproducibility by providing access to demonstration videos, trained models, and source code.
