Abstract
Grasping is a fundamental robotic capability that bridges perception and physical task execution. This paper studies grasp pose recovery under a perception-to-execution mismatch, where a grasp generated from visual perception may become spatially stale if the object moves before execution, using only sparse tactile interactions and no further visual observations. We propose DA-GRD, Decision-Aware Grasp-Relevant Disambiguation, which maintains a weighted planar belief over possible object configurations and selects tactile probes according to their ability to eliminate hypotheses and improve agreement among candidate task grasps. Rather than fully relocalizing the object, DA-GRD stops when the remaining hypotheses support a common executable grasp. In MuJoCo experiments on ten rigid objects with translations up to 5~cm and yaw perturbations up to $\pm45^\circ$, DA-GRD achieves an 84.7% physical lift success rate, compared with 9.1% for stale AnyGrasp, 21.2% for the original fix-scan baseline, and 63.7% for fix-scan method adapted with an SE(2) belief. DA-GRD also achieves a 57.3% Task conditioned Success rate. Across objects, it uses a success-average of 4.13 tactile probes over the ten per-object means, corresponding to a 72.5% reduction relative to the fixed 15-probe baselines. Real-world experiments on six objects achieve 71.7% physical lift success and 38.3% task-conditioned success with 4.20 probes on average. These results show that tactile sensing can recover task-relevant grasps under vision-off conditions with limited physical interaction, without requiring complete object localization.
