Grasp-Then-Plan with Failure Attribution: A Closed Two-Stage Framework for Precise and Generalizable Robotic Manipulation

arXiv:2606. 03385v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In robotic manipulation, the tight coupling between grasping and motion planning often obscures the true source of failure, leading to inefficient trial-and-error.

GOAG: Generative and Object-Agnostic Grasp Planner for Dexterous Robotic Manipulation

arXiv:2608. 19759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multifingered grasping is a crucial robotic skill, but current deep-learning grasp planners often struggle to generalize to new objects because they are trained on limited, object-specific datasets.

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.
