Grasp-TAGS: Task-Aware Grasp Selection via Critic Distillation for Prehensile Loco-Manipulation
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- Grasp-TAGS selects optimal grasps for mobile manipulators moving large objects by training a critic network to rank candidate grasps before contact.
- Why it matters
- Roboticists building warehouse automation or service robots that must coordinate locomotion and manipulation across long distances matter most.
- Watch out
- Results are from simulation; real-world performance on diverse object geometries and environmental conditions remains unvalidated.
- distill
- long horizon
