Autonomous robotic manipulation for grasping a target object in cluttered environments
摘要
This work addresses the challenge of grasping a target object in cluttered environments, even when it is partially visible or fully occluded. The proposed approach enables the manipulator to learn a sequence of strategic pushing actions that rearrange the scene to make the target object graspable. Our pipeline integrates image morphological processing with deep reinforcement learning (DRL), using GR-ConvNet to predict grasp points for the target. When the object is considered ungraspable, a soft actor-critic (SAC) model guides optimal pushing actions. A novel clutter map is introduced, encoding environmental clutter into a quantitative score that informs the decision-making process. The system shows improved performance with a discount factor (
