New AI Model Lets Robots Grasp Objects Like Humans Using RGB-D Data
Researchers introduce HUG, a flow-matching AI model that generates diverse human grasps for any object from a single RGB-D image. Trained on the 1M-HUGs egocentric dataset of 1 million frames from human grasp demonstrations, HUG outperforms state-of-the-art baselines by 23% and 34% on a challenging benchmark, enabling zero-shot grasping for multi-fingered robots.
