GenCOPE enables synthetic-to-real object pose estimation for robots

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed GenCOPE, a novel approach to category-level object pose estimation (COPE) that enables synthetic-to-real (Syn2Real) generalization for robotic picking. This method trains exclusively on synthetic data, overcoming the significant domain gap, particularly in texture appearance, between simulated and real-world environments. GenCOPE employs 2D and 3D semantic consistency constraints to learn domain-invariant representations and an end-to-end pose regression framework with cross-modality fusion for refined estimation. The model's lightweight, global-feature-only architecture demonstrates superior Syn2Real generalization on benchmarks like REAL275 and Wild6D, as well as in real-world robotic manipulation scenarios. AI

IMPACT This research could significantly improve robotic manipulation by enabling models trained in simulation to perform accurately in real-world environments, reducing the need for extensive real-world data collection.

    GenCOPE: Syn2Real Generalized Category-Level Object Pose Estimation for Robotic Picking

    arXiv:2610.01758v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Category-level object pose estimation (COPE), capable of generalizing to intra-class unknown objects, has become a core technique for robotic 3D scene understanding. However, existing COPE methods still require labor-intensive recol…
