Multi-instance point cloud registration aims to estimate the pose of all instances of a model point cloud in the whole scene. Existing methods all adopt the strategy of first obtaining the global correspondence and then clustering to obtain the pose of each instance. However, due to the cluttered and occluded objects in the scene, it is difficult to obtain an accurate correspondence between the model point cloud and all instances in the scene. To this end, we propose a simple yet powerful 3D focusing-and-matching network for multi-instance point cloud registration by learning the multiple pair-wise point cloud registration. Specifically, we first present a 3D multi-object focusing module to locate the center of each object and generate object proposals. By using self-attention and cross-attention to associate the model point cloud with structurally similar objects, we can locate potential matching instances by regressing object centers. Then, we propose a 3D dual-masking instance matching module to estimate the pose between the model point cloud and each object proposal. It performs instance mask and overlap mask masks to accurately predict the pair-wise correspondence. Extensive experiments on two public benchmarks, Scan2CAD and ROBI, show that our method achieves a new state-of-the-art performance on the multi-instance point cloud registration task.

To this end, we propose a simple yet powerful 3D focusing-and-matching network for multi-instance point cloud registration by learning the multiple pair-wise point cloud registration.

An important prerequisite for autonomous robots is their ability to reliably grasp a wide variety of objects. Most state-of-the-art systems employ specialized or simple end-effectors, such as two-jaw grippers, which limit the range of objects to manipulate. Additionally, they conventionally require a structured and fully predictable environment while the vast majority of our world is complex, unstructured, and dynamic. This paper presents a novel approach to integrate a five-finger hand with visual servo control to enable dynamic grasping and compensate for external disturbances. The multi-fingered end-effector enhances the variety of possible grasps and manipulable objects. It is controlled by a deep learning based generative grasping network. The required virtual model of the unknown target object is iteratively completed by processing visual sensor data. Our experiments on real hardware confirm the system's capability to reliably grasp unknown dynamic target objects. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first method to achieve dynamic multi-fingered grasping for unknown objects. A video of the experiments is available at https://youtu.be/5Ou6V_QMrNY.
