Deep learning‐based grasp‐detection method for a five‐fingered industrial robot hand

Abstract

To improve the accuracy of robotic grasp in some uncertain environments, a deep learning‐based object‐detection method for a five‐fingered industrial robot hand model is proposed in this study. The authors first design a five‐fingered industrial robot hand model with 21‐degrees of freedom (DOF). Based on the sensor data of a 5DT data glove, the industrial robot hand can be controlled in real time. They use the object‐detection network's faster regions convolutional neural network and single shot multibox detector to locate the grasp objects. To optimise the robotic grasp detection, two grasp‐predictor methods, direct grasp predictor and multi‐modal grasp predictor, are applied to obtain the best graspable region. In the simulation designed in this study, cooperating with a 6‐DOF robot arm, the five‐fingered industrial robot hand can detect an object accurately and grasp it steadily.
