Training a deep network policy for robot manipulation is notoriously costly and time consuming as it depends on collecting a significant amount of real world data. To work well in the real world, the policy needs to see many instances of the task, including various object arrangements in the scene as well as variations in object geometry, texture, material, and environmental illumination. In this paper, we propose a method that learns to perform table-top instance grasping of a wide variety of objects while using no real world grasping data, outperforming the baseline using 2.5D shape by 10 . Our method learns 3D point cloud of object, and use that to train a domain-invariant grasping policy. We formulate the learning process as a two-step procedure: 1) Learning a domain-invariant 3D shape representation of objects from about 76K episodes in simulation and about 530 episodes in the real world, where each episode lasts less than a minute and 2) Learning a critic grasping policy in simulation only based on the 3D shape representation from step 1. Our real world data collection in step 1 is both cheaper and faster compared to existing approaches as it only requires taking multiple snapshots of the scene using a RGBD camera. Finally, the learned 3D representation is not specific to grasping, and can potentially be used in other interaction tasks.
Another line of research focuses on reconstructing objects and scenes as 3D triangle meshes, which in turn can be used to enable more informed robotic behavior @cite_53 @cite_30 . Reconstructing objects from incomplete scans is challenging. Various approaches exist to reconstruct the geometry of objects, while considering the many facets of the problem @cite_35 @cite_37 @cite_56 @cite_29 @cite_18 @cite_19 . Very recently, Henderson and Ferrari @cite_42 introduced a network architecture to generate 3D meshes, while only providing single image supervision. At a higher level, our method is related to recent work on deep 3D representation learning for robot-object interaction @cite_23 @cite_10 @cite_5 . Moreover, to facilitate the learning of 3D shape representations and the grasping of objects, recent efforts concentrate on curating large shape and grasp repositories @cite_17 @cite_1 @cite_31 .

In this paper, we propose a novel 3D-RecGAN approach, which reconstructs the complete 3D structure of a given object from a single arbitrary depth view using generative adversarial networks. Unlike the existing work which typically requires multiple views of the same object or class labels to recover the full 3D geometry, the proposed 3D-RecGAN only takes the voxel grid representation of a depth view of the object as input, and is able to generate the complete 3D occupancy grid by filling in the occluded missing regions. The key idea is to combine the generative capabilities of autoencoders and the conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) framework, to infer accurate and fine-grained 3D structures of objects in high-dimensional voxel space. Extensive experiments on large synthetic datasets show that the proposed 3D-RecGAN significantly outperforms the state of the art in single view 3D object reconstruction, and is able to reconstruct unseen types of objects.
