  • Training CNNs for object localization and segmentation

Grasp Planning and Detection

  • Classical grasp planning algorithms
  • Learning grasp poses from data and simulation
  • Implementing grasp detection networks (e.g., GGCNN, Dex-Net)

Control and Motion Planning

  • Inverse kinematics and trajectory generation
  • Learning-based motion planning and imitation learning
  • Reinforcement learning for manipulation control policies

Integration with ROS 2 and Simulation Environments

  • Setting up ROS 2 nodes for perception and control
  • Simulating robotic manipulators in Gazebo and Isaac Sim
  • Integrating neural models for real-time control

End-to-End Learning for Manipulation

  • Combining perception, policy, and control in unified networks
  • Using demonstration data for supervised policy learning
  • Domain adaptation between simulation and real hardware

Evaluation and Optimization

  • Metrics for grasp success, stability, and precision
  • Testing under varying conditions and disturbances
  • Model compression and deployment on edge devices

Hands-on Project: Deep Learning-Based Robotic Grasping
