A Benchmarking Study on Vision-Based Grasp Synthesis Algorithms

In this paper, we present a benchmarking study of vision-based grasp synthesis algorithms, each with distinct approaches, and provide a comparative analysis of their performance under different experimental conditions. In particular, we compare two machine-learning-based and two analytical algorithms to determine their strengths and weaknesses in different scenarios. In addition, we provide an open-source benchmarking tool developed from state-of-the-art benchmarking procedures and protocols to systematically evaluate different grasp synthesis algorithms. Our findings offer insights into the performance of the evaluated algorithms, which can aid in selecting the most appropriate algorithm for different scenarios.Comment: Submitted to International Symposium on Experimental Robotics (ISER) 202
