Berkeley AUTOLAB's GQCNN Package

Documentation: https://berkeleyautomation.github.io/gqcnn.

Version 1.0 Release

We're excited to announce version 1.0, which brings the GQ-CNN package up to date with recent research in the Dexterity-Network (Dex-Net) project. Version 1.0 introduces support for:

  • Dex-Net 4.0: Composite policies that decide whether to use a suction cup or parallel-jaw gripper.
  • Fully Convolutional GQ-CNNs: Fully convolutional architectures that efficiently evaluate millions of grasps faster than prior GQ-CNNs.

Version 1.0 also provide a more robust ROS grasp planning service that includes built-in pre-processing.

New Features

  • Support for training GQ-CNNs on Dex-Net 4.0 parallel jaw and suction datasets.
  • Support for faster Fully Convolutional GQ-CNNs (FC-GQ-CNNs).
  • More robust ROS policy with integrated pre-processing.
  • Improved interface for training GQ-CNNs and evaluating policies.
  • Faster training due to improved parallelism in data prefetch/pre-processing.
  • Easy-to-use shell scripts for replication of published results from Dex-Net {2.0,2.1,3.0,4.0} and FC-GQ-CNN.

Package Overview

The gqcnn Python package is for training and analysis of Grasp Quality Convolutional Neural Networks (GQ-CNNs).

This package is part of the Dexterity Network (Dex-Net) project: https://berkeleyautomation.github.io/dex-net

Created and maintained by the AUTOLAB at UC Berkeley: https://autolab.berkeley.edu

Installation

See the website at https://berkeleyautomation.github.io/gqcnn for installation instructions and API Documentation.

Datasets
