Improving the Successful Robotic Grasp Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Robotic grasp should be carried out in a real-time manner by proper accuracy. Perception is the first and significant step in this procedure. This paper proposes an improved pip line model trying to detect grasp as a rectangle representation for different seen or unseen objects. It helps the robot to start control procedures from nearer to the proper part of the object. The main idea consists in the pre-processing, output normalization, and data augmentation to improve accuracy by 4.3 percent without making the system slow. Also, a comparison has been conducted over different pre-trained models like AlexNet, ResNet, Vgg19, which are the most famous feature extractors for image processing in object detection. Although AlexNet has less complexity than other ones, it outperformed them, which helps the real-time property.
