The first vision method is based on classical image processing and heuristics (e.g., Canny edge detection) to select a grasp target and angle. The second uses a deep-learning model trained on a human-labeled data set to mimic human grasp decisions. A clustering algorithm is used to de-noise the outputs of each vision method. Subsequently, a workspace PD control method is used to execute each grasp. Of the two vision methods, we find the deep-learning based method to be more effective.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07631v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.07631v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"vision-and-control-for-grasping-clear-plastic","repo_url":"https://github.com/jaxwagner/eecs206b_final_project","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
