MultiGraspNet — A Multitask 3D Vision Model for Multi-gripper Robotic Grasping

We present MultiGraspNet, a novel multi-task 3D deep learning method that predicts feasible poses simultaneously for parallel and vacuum grippers within a unified framework, enabling a single robot to handle both end-effectors. By sharing early-stage features while maintaining gripper-specific refiners, the model effectivelly leverages complementary information across grasping modalities with a compact footprint of only 15.75M parameters and fast inference on a single GPU. Real-world experiments on a single-arm multi-gripper robotic setup demonstrate competitive performance against single-task baselines while reducing computational cost.
