Researchers have developed two new methods, GOAG and CoToGrasp, for robotic grasping that aim to improve generalization to unseen objects. GOAG uses a generative model to learn a latent representation of gripper contact surfaces, enabling grasp sampling without object-specific data. CoToGrasp synthesizes grasps based on contact topologies and uses a canonical workspace to achieve zero-shot generalization. Both approaches demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on established benchmarks and show effectiveness in simulated and real-world scenarios. AI
