ACRONYM:  A Large-Scale Grasp Dataset Based on Simulation

We introduce ACRONYM, a dataset for robot grasp planning based on physics simulation. The dataset contains 17.7M parallel-jaw grasps, spanning 8872 objects from 262 different categories, each labeled with the grasp result obtained from a physics simulator. We show the value of this large and diverse dataset by using it to train two state-of-the-art learning-based grasp planning algorithms. Grasp performance improves significantly when compared to the original smaller dataset. This website contains links to download the dataset and tools to work with it in your own research and applications.  Don't hesitate to contact us for further questions.

The dataset is comprised of 8836 HDF5 files. File names follow the scheme <category>_<shapenetid>_<scale>.h5 .
Each file is structured as follows:

>> h5ls -r WineGlass_2d89d2b3b6749a9d99fbba385cc0d41d_0.0024652679182251653.h5

HDF5 files can be read in Python using the h5py package. For example:

> import h5py

> import numpy as np
> grasps = h5py.File('WineGlass_2d89d2b3b6749a9d99fbba385cc0d41d_0.0024652679182251653.h5', 'r')
> grasps.visititems(print)
> grasps['object/file'][()]
'meshes/WineGlass/2d89d2b3b6749a9d99fbba385cc0d41d.obj'

> grasps['grasps/transforms'].shape

(2000, 4, 4)

> grasps['grasps/qualities/flex/object_in_gripper'].shape

(2000,)

> np.unique(grasps['grasps/qualities/flex/object_in_gripper'])

array([0, 1])

FAQ

Under which license is the dataset published?

ACRONYM is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0.

What is the reference frame for the Franka Panda Gripper model?

The grasp transforms describe the transformation of the Panda Gripper frame (attached to the gripper mesh as shown in the picture to the right) in the object's mesh coordinate system.
