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.
