Abstract

Grasping unknown objects based on real-world visual input is a challenging problem. In this paper, we present an Early Cognitive Vision system that builds a hierarchical representation based on edge and texture information, which is a sparse but powerful description of the scene. Based on this representation we generate edge-based and surface-based grasps. The results show that the method generates successful grasps, that the edge and surface information are complementary, and that the method can deal with more complex scenes. We furthermore present a benchmark for visual-based grasping.
