报告内容简介：

The skill of grasping objects is a major human dexterity. However, despite years of research, grasping objects by robots , i.e., robotic grasping, is still problematic as current robots are still unable to automatically understand the scene, locate the objects, determine the grasp parameters, e.g., opening size of the gripper, the force to be applied, etc. In this talk, I am giving an overview of our recent research work, e.g., object instance segmentation for scene understanding, grasp position prediction, mainly based on deep machine learning through simulated data, to endow grasping robots with human vision capabilities.
