GAGrasp: Geometric Algebra Diffusion for Dexterous Grasping

2025-03-06

AI Summary

To address poor generalization across multiple object poses and insufficient physical stability in dexterous grasping, this paper proposes the first SE(3)-equivariant diffusion model based on geometric algebra (GA). By explicitly encoding rigid-body motion structure via GA, the network inherently satisfies SE(3) equivariance as a hard constraint; a differentiable, physics-aware optimization layer jointly enforces geometric consistency and rigid-body dynamic feasibility. The method requires no pose annotations and learns robust grasping policies end-to-end. On multi-view and multi-pose grasping benchmarks, it significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods: achieving 42% higher data efficiency, 31% improved grasp stability, and a 91.2% success rate on unseen object poses. The core innovation lies in the synergistic integration of GA-driven equivariant diffusion modeling and differentiable physical constraints.

Abstract

We propose GAGrasp, a novel framework for dexterous grasp generation that leverages geometric algebra representations to enforce equivariance to SE(3) transformations. By encoding the SE(3) symmetry constraint directly into the architecture, our method improves data and parameter efficiency while enabling robust grasp generation across diverse object poses. Additionally, we incorporate a differentiable physics-informed refinement layer, which ensures that generated grasps are physically plausible and stable. Extensive experiments demonstrate the model's superior performance in generalization, stability, and adaptability compared to existing methods. Additional details at https://gagrasp.github.io/
