This research introduces the first standardized benchmark for multi-object grasping (MOG), defining three protocols and four metrics to evaluate robotic systems. Baseline experiments with diverse robotic grippers reveal a substantial performance gap compared to humans, with robots showing promising success rates for grasping two objects but significant drops in efficiency and accuracy as the number of objects or task complexity increases.
Key insights
- The inherent compliance of soft robotic hands can be advantageous for multi-object grasping, leveraging intra-object forces for more stable grasps in cluttered scenarios.
- Human performance consistently highlights significant limitations in current robotic MOG systems, particularly regarding adaptability, nuanced perception, and strategic planning for complex, sequential tasks.
- Multi-object grasping introduces unique challenges in perception, planning, and control (e.g., managing multiple contact points, object interactions, optimal grasping sequences) that existing single-object grasping benchmarks cannot address.
