Dex-Net 2.0: Deep Learning to Plan Robust Grasps with Synthetic Point Clouds and Analytic Grasp Metrics
To reduce data collection time for deep learning of robust robotic grasp plans, we explore training from a synthetic dataset of 6. 7 million point clouds, grasps, and analytic grasp metrics generated from thousands of 3D models from Dex-Net 1.

Evidence notes
- Experiments use YuMi (IRB 14000 Dual-arm) as the physical evaluation platform.
- The reported results provide an independent evaluation on YuMi (IRB 14000 Dual-arm) hardware.
