Excited to share our latest work on object placement for robot manipulation, AnyPlace! 🚀 A two-stage method that predicts diverse placement poses for objects in the real world - trained entirely on synthetic data.

Big thanks to all my collaborators! Check out the full post for more details👇.
How can robots reliably place objects in diverse real-world tasks?

🤖🔍 Placement is hard! - objects vary in shape & placement modes (such as stacking, hanging, insertion)

AnyPlace predicts placement poses of unseen objects in real-world with ony using synthetic training data!
