A Review of Embodied Grasping by Jianghao Sun, Pengjun Mao, Lingju Kong, Jun Wang

“…First, we summarize the embodied foundations, including cutting-edge embodied robots, simulation platforms, publicly available datasets, and data acquisition methods, to fully understand the research focus. Then, the embodied algorithms are introduced, starting from pre-trained models, with three main research goals: (1) embodied perception, using data captured by visual sensors to perform point cloud extraction or 3D reconstruction, combined with pre-trained models, to understand the target object and external environment and directly predict the execution of actions; (2) embodied strategy: In imitation learning, the pre-trained model is used to enhance data or as a feature extractor to enhance the generalization ability of the model. …”
