WorcesterDEPARTMENT NAME
Robotics Engineering - JMDIVISION NAME
Worcester Polytechnic Institute - WPIJOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
WPI is seeking to fill a temporary position of Robotics Research Engineer to set up a modular pick-generation pipeline that operates directly on the overhead RGB-D camera available in the lab. The input to your pipeline will be an RGB-D image and the output should be a 3D pick location (x y z) relative to the robots coordinate frame. You can assume that the scene contains objects from the YCB dataset.JOB DESCRIPTION
The currently implemented approach works as follows:
- First a segmentation model such as LangSAM is used to extract object masks from the RGB-D image.
- These masks are then passed to a grasping model (e.g. AnyGrasp) which estimates a 6D grasp pose for each detected object.
- You should extract and output the x y z and theta for the highest-confidence grasp and visualize it on the input image.
