Uncertainty-aware Suction Grasping for Cluttered Scenes [RA-Letter 2024]

Official repository for the paper "Uncertainty-aware Suction Grasping for Cluttered Scenes"

Requirements

Dataset

Download data and labels from SuctionNet webpage.

Environment

The code has been tested with CUDA 11.6 and pytorch 1.13.0 on ubuntu 20.04

Installation

Create new enviornment:

conda create --name grasp python=3.8

Activate the enviornment and install Pytorch 1.13.0:

conda install pytorch==1.13.1 torchvision==0.14.1 torchaudio==0.13.1 pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia

Install Minkowski Engine:

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/MinkowskiEngine.git
cd MinkowskiEngine
python setup.py install --blas_include_dirs=${CONDA_PREFIX}/include --blas=openblas

Install prerequisites:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install suctionnetAPI:

git clone https://github.com/intrepidChw/suctionnms.git
cd suctionnms
pip install .

git clone https://github.com/graspnet/suctionnetAPI
cd suctionnetAPI
pip install .

Data Preparation

1. Precompute normal map for scenes:

cd dataset
python generate_normal_data.py --dataset_root '/path/to/SuctionNet/dataset'

2. Precompute suction label for scenes:

cd dataset
python generate_suction_data.py --dataset_root '/path/to/SuctionNet/dataset'

3. Download segmentation mask from UOIS, UOAIS.
