MultiGraspNet: A Multitask 3D Vision Model for Multi-gripper Robotic Grasping

MultiGraspNet is a multitask 3D vision model that simultaneously predicts feasible poses for both parallel and vacuum grippers, allowing a single robot to handle multiple end effectors. Trained on the aligned GraspNet-1Billion and SuctionNet-1Billion datasets, it generates graspability masks that quantify the suitability of each scene point for successful grasps. With only 15.75 M parameters, the model achieves fast inference on a single GPU and demonstrates competitive performance against single-task models while reducing computational cost, as shown in extensive experiments and real‑world tests on a single‑arm multi‑gripper setup.

Enabling a Unified Cross-Domain Representation for Two-Finger Gripper Manipulation via Interaction-Centric Modeling

The paper introduces an interaction‑centric framework that unifies representations for two‑finger gripper manipulation across different robot embodiments. By using a parameterized universal gripper abstraction and a canonical gripper‑frame representation, the system infers sub‑tasks from language and RGB‑D inputs, grounds interaction triplets, and employs hybrid features and a Flow‑Matching Transformer to generate smooth 7‑DoF action sequences. Experiments in both simulation and real‑world settings show that this approach achieves competitive benchmark performance while enabling extreme cross‑embodiment and cross‑viewpoint zero‑shot sim‑to‑real transfer to heterogeneous robot platforms.

Bridging the Morphology Gap: Adapting VLA Models to Dexterous Manipulation via Intent-Conditioned Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2606. 12109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot generalization in robotic manipulation, yet the vast majority of pre-trained pipelines remain strictly confined to low-DoF parallel grippers.

Adaptive Vision-Language Grasping via Composable Foundation Priors and Generalizable Grasp Synthesis

AdaRoboVLG is a Vision‑Language‑Grasp framework that separates a generalizable base grasp policy from task‑specific understanding. The base policy generates and evaluates physically feasible grasp candidates using kinematic mapping and force‑closure stability, while foundation‑model modules supply composable spatial, cognitive, and temporal priors that adapt grasp synthesis to different robotic hands and environments without retraining. Experiments show strong cross‑hand generalization, effective handling of diverse grasping challenges, and functional grasping in cluttered, dynamic settings.
