Two-stage grasp detection method for robotics using point clouds and deep hierarchical feature learning network (2023)
Journal Article
Liu, X., Huang, C., Li, J., Wan, W., & Yang, C. (in press). Two-stage grasp detection method for robotics using point clouds and deep hierarchical feature learning network. IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems, https://doi.org/10.1109/tcds.2023.3289987

When human beings see different objects, they can quickly make correct grasping strategies through brain decisions. However, grasp, as the first step of most manipulation tasks, is still an open issue in robotics. Although many detection methods have...
