Grasp Manipulation Relationship Detection Based on Graph Sample and Aggregation

In multi-object stacking scenarios, exploring the relationships among objects and determining the correct se- quence of operations are crucial for robotic manipulation. However, previous algorithms inefficiently combine global and local information, often focusing solely on the local features of objects or the interactions of object features at a global level. This approach leads to imbalanced distribution of features and the generation of redundant or missing relationships in complex scenes, such as multi-object stacking and partial occlusion. To address this issue, we have developed a grasp manipulation relationship detection algorithm called Graph Sampling Aggre- gation Network for Visual Manipulation Relationship Detection (GSAGED). This algorithm assists robots in detecting targets in complex scenes and determining the appropriate grasping order. Firstly, the Positional Encoding Module in GSAGED enhances object feature information by considering global contexts. Secondly, the Graph Sampling Aggregation method effectively integrates global and local information, relieving imbalanced distribution of features. Finally, we applied the developed algorithm to a physical robot for grasping. Ex- perimental results on the Visual Manipulation Relationship Dataset (VMRD) and the large-scale relational grasp dataset named REGRAD demonstrate that our method significantly improves the accuracy of relationship detection in complex scenes and exhibits robust generalization capabilities in real- world applications.
