用进化算法优化机械手抓取,大幅提升稳定且多样的抓取方案数量。
DexEvolve: Evolutionary Optimization for Robust and Diverse Dexterous Grasp Synthesis
- 先用解析方法生成初始抓取,再在高保真仿真中通过进化算法优化
- 每种物体可生成120个以上稳定抓取,比原始方法提升1.7到6倍
- 适合需要多样抓取的机器人任务,如智能仓储或复杂操作
灵巧抓取是机器人关键技术,但数据驱动方法依赖大规模多样数据集,成本高且仅适配少数夹爪形态。解析方法虽可扩展数据收集,但简化假设常导致物理不可行的抓取,需在高保真仿真中筛选,大幅减少数量与多样性。本文提出一种可扩展的生成-优化流水线,直接在高保真仿真(Isaac Sim)中通过异步无梯度进化算法优化初始抓取,不丢弃候选方案,持续提升质量并保持多样性。该过程可引导人类偏好或领域指标,无需可微目标。进一步将优化后的抓取分布蒸馏为扩散模型,用于真实部署。在新提出的Handles数据集和DexGraspNet子集上的实验表明,本方法每物体可生成超过120个稳定抓取(较未优化方法提升1.7–6倍),且在唯一抓取覆盖率上优于扩散基方法46%–60%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dexterous grasping is fundamental to robotics, yet data-driven grasp prediction heavily relies on large, diverse datasets that are costly to generate and typically limited to a narrow set of gripper morphologies. Analytical grasp synthesis can be used to scale data collection, but necessary simplifying assumptions often yield physically infeasible grasps that need to be filtered in high-fidelity simulators, significantly reducing the total number of grasps and their diversity. We propose a scalable generate-and-refine pipeline for synthesizing large-scale, diverse, and physically feasible grasps. Instead of using high-fidelity simulators solely for verification and filtering, we leverage them as an optimization stage that continuously improves grasp quality without discarding precomputed candidates. More specifically, we initialize an evolutionary search with a seed set of analytically generated, potentially suboptimal grasps. We then refine these proposals directly in a high-fidelity simulator (Isaac Sim) using an asynchronous, gradient-free evolutionary algorithm, improving stability while maintaining diversity. In addition, this refinement stage can be guided toward human preferences and/or domain-specific quality metrics without requiring a differentiable objective. We further distill the refined grasp distribution into a diffusion model for robust real-world deployment, and highlight the role of diversity for both effective training and during deployment. Experiments on a newly introduced Handles dataset and a DexGraspNet subset demonstrate that our approach achieves over 120 distinct stable grasps per object (a 1.7-6x improvement over unrefined analytical methods) while outperforming diffusion-based alternatives by 46-60\% in unique grasp coverage.
