Researchers have developed Web2Grasp, a novel method for teaching robot hands to grasp objects functionally by learning from human interactions captured in web images. This approach extracts 3D meshes of hand-object interactions from RGB images and employs an interaction-centric model along with geometry-based filtering and physical simulation to refine grasp data. The system achieved a 75.8% success rate on web-dataset objects in simulation and demonstrated a 77.5% success rate with real-world robotic hands, including challenging objects like syringes and knives.
