Grasping skill is a major ability that a wide number of real-life
applications require for robotisation. State-of-the-art robotic grasping
methods perform prediction of object grasp locations based on deep neural
networks. However, such networks require huge amount of labeled data for
training making this approach often impracticable in robotics. In this paper,
we propose a method to generate a large scale synthetic dataset with ground
truth, which we refer to as the Jacquard grasping dataset. Jacquard is built on
a subset of ShapeNet, a large CAD models dataset, and contains both RGB-D
images and annotations of successful grasping positions based on grasp attempts
performed in a simulated environment. We carried out experiments using an
off-the-shelf CNN, with three different evaluation metrics, including real
grasping robot trials. The results show that Jacquard enables much better
generalization skills than a human labeled dataset thanks to its diversity of
objects and grasping positions. For the purpose of reproducible research in
robotics, we are releasing along with the Jacquard dataset a web interface for
researchers to evaluate the successfulness of their grasping position
detections using our dataset.
