Descrição
Resumo:Deformable object manipulations, such as those involving textiles, present a significant challenge due to their high dimensionality and complexity. In this paper, we propose a solution for estimating semantic states in cloth manipulation tasks. To this end, we introduce a new, large-scale, fully-annotated RGB image dataset of semantic states featuring a diverse range of human demonstrations of various complex cloth manipulations. This effectively transforms the problem of action recognition into a classification task. We then evaluate the generalizability of our approach by employing domain adaptation techniques to transfer knowledge from human demonstrations to two distinct robotic platforms: Kinova and UR robots. Additionally, we further improve performance by utilizing a semantic state graph learned from human manipulation data.
