transporting-objects
From the author
Move the currently-held object to a destination and release. The gripper enters this subgraph holding the object; on exit the object has been placed. For a walled container (basket / bin / box / tote) the default is a straight-Z descent to inside the walls (transport_descend_linear → release); for placement ONTO a surface or into a described sub-region it computes an explicit drop pose (compute_drop → move_above → release). Use after a successful grasp when the destination has a known OBB. When the destination is a sub-region described in natural language (e.g. "the left compartment of the caddy", "to the left of the plate", "the inside of the top drawer"), an optional VLM-grounded perceive_zone state localizes the zone before the drop pose is computed. Heights derive from the perceived container and the live wrist pose rather than a resting tool height, and the top-down orientation from the hand actually on the arm (robot.grasp_frame).

- grasping-with-plannergraph-robots/open-robot-skillsTop-down grasping via a fast axis-locked linear descend with a collision-aware cuRobo fallback. A single `grasp_descend_linear` node rises, translates over the target, and descends straight down (Z-locked, orientation held) onto the object; if the straight-line solve is infeasible (far-edge reach, no IK for the fixed wrist) it falls back to the cuRobo planner over the candidate fan. Use when the curobo tool bundle is installed and a perceived object (OBB) must be grasped — the default grasping skill whenever cuRobo is deployed, in clean and cluttered scenes alike.Planning★ 58
- perceiving-next-itemgraph-robots/open-robot-skillsLoop-head perception for pack-all / clean-all-items tasks. From ONE observation it localizes BOTH the destination container (basket, bin, box) AND the next remaining target item, using the pairwise VLM crop tournament with a container-excluding description so the target is never confused with the basket, then makes a clean found / none decision: an item was found (grasp it) or only the container remains (all items packed — exit the loop to done). Use when a workflow must pick up EVERY object and place each into a container in a loop (pack-all / clean-all-items) and each pass must reliably answer "is there still a graspable item, or are we done?" while also exposing a fresh container OBB for the downstream place. This subgraph is self-contained and takes NO inputs (inputs: {}); the container and item phrases are literal strings written inside the perception nodes, never subgraph parameters — do not declare item_name / container_name / item_description as subgraph inputs.Writing★ 58
- grasping-direct-ikgraph-robots/open-robot-skillsDirect IK align-then-descend grasping. The gripper pre-rotates to the grasp orientation at a safe height ABOVE the target before descending straight down, avoiding the twist-while-closing failure mode of a blended rotate+descend. The grasp rotation is rebuilt so the hand's declared closing axis (robot.describe_gripper, composed by robot.grasp_frame) closes across the target's short horizontal axis, and the hover clearance is the hand's own (robot.describe_workspace) unless the workflow pins it. Use when no trajectory planner (curobo) is deployed or the scene is uncluttered enough that a straight-line approach is safe.DevOps★ 58
- planning-held-object-motiongraph-robots/open-robot-skillsPlans the carry and engagement phases for an already-held rigid object: a clearance-first lift, the smallest feasible symmetry-equivalent reorientation, an orientation-locked transit above the fixture, or a direct plan to the approach pose; then a typed engagement or a straight linear insertion, optionally re-observing the held tip from the wrist first. Use when a held object must be brought to a fixture for insertion, hanging, packing, racking, or constrained sorting and an execution skill will run the resulting plans.Planning★ 58
- grasping-short-axisgraph-robots/open-robot-skillsDeterministic short-axis-aligned grasp with CuRobo. The grasp pose is computed geometrically (NOT sampled/scored) — the gripper approaches straight down with its finger-opening axis locked to the OBB's SHORTER horizontal axis, so the jaws close ACROSS the narrow dimension of an elongated target. Use for pan/pot handles, bottles, tools, utensils — anywhere the OBB centroid is graspable but orientation is the thing that matters. An optional offset_from_base node slides the grasp outward along the handle, clear of the heavier object body, when a second OBB of that body is wired in. A scored/sampled pose often holds at close but shears out under the lift; the short-axis pose grips the bar squarely so it survives lift + transport.Documents★ 58
- registering-held-objectsgraph-robots/open-robot-skillsReobserves a grasped rigid object from the wrist cameras, estimates its functional feature in the TCP frame, and fits attached collision spheres, retaining the grasp-time transform at low confidence when the object is not seen. Use when a held object must be localized in the hand right after grasping or re-checked at a pre-contact pose before a fixture engagement.Other★ 58
