Learning to Place Unseen Objects Stably using a Large-scale Simulation

Object placement is a fundamental task for robots, yet it remains challenging for partially observed objects. Existing methods for object placement have limitations, such as the requirement for a complete 3D model of the object or the inability to handle complex shapes and novel objects that restrict the applicability of robots in the real world. Herein, we focus on addressing the Unseen Object Placement (UOP}=) problem. We tackled the UOP problem using two methods: (1) UOP-Sim, a large-scale dataset to accommodate various shapes and novel objects, and (2) UOP-Net, a point cloud segmentation-based approach that directly detects the most stable plane from partial point clouds. Our UOP approach enables robots to place objects stably, even when the object's shape and properties are not fully known, thus providing a promising solution for object placement in various environments. We verify our approach through simulation and real-world robot experiments, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance for placing single-view and partial objects. Robot demos, codes, and dataset are available at https://gistailab.github.io/uop/

Automatic Detection of Injection and Press Mold Parts on 2D Drawing Using Deep Neural Network

This paper proposes a method to automatically detect the key feature parts in a CAD of commercial TV and monitor using a deep neural network. We developed a deep learning pipeline that can detect the injection parts such as hook, boss, undercut and press parts such as DPS, Embo-Screwless, Embo-Burring, and EMBO in the 2D CAD drawing images. We first cropped the drawing to a specific size for the training efficiency of a deep neural network. Then, we use Cascade R-CNN to find the position of injection and press parts and use Resnet-50 to predict the orientation of the parts. Finally, we convert the position of the parts found through the cropped image to the position of the original image. As a result, we obtained detection accuracy of injection and press parts with 84.1% in AP (Average Precision), 91.2% in AR(Average Recall), 72.0% in AP, 87.0% in AR, and orientation accuracy of injection and press parts with 94.4% and 92.0%, which can facilitate the faster design in industrial product design.

Unseen Object Amodal Instance Segmentation via Hierarchical Occlusion Modeling

Instance-aware segmentation of unseen objects is essential for a robotic system in an unstructured environment. Although previous works achieved encouraging results, they were limited to segmenting the only visible regions of unseen objects. For robotic manipulation in a cluttered scene, amodal perception is required to handle the occluded objects behind others. This paper addresses Unseen Object Amodal Instance Segmentation (UOAIS) to detect 1) visible masks, 2) amodal masks, and 3) occlusions on unseen object instances. For this, we propose a Hierarchical Occlusion Modeling (HOM) scheme designed to reason about the occlusion by assigning a hierarchy to a feature fusion and prediction order. We evaluated our method on three benchmarks (tabletop, indoors, and bin environments) and achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance. Robot demos for picking up occluded objects, codes, and datasets are available at https://sites.google.com/view/uoais
