In planar grasp detection, the goal is to learn a function from an image of a scene onto a set of feasible grasp poses in $\mathrm{SE}(2)$. In this paper, we recognize that the optimal grasp function is $\mathrm{SE}(2)$-equivariant and can be modeled using an equivariant convolutional neural network. As a result, we are able to significantly improve the sample efficiency of grasp learning, obtaining a good approximation of the grasp function after only 600 grasp attempts. This is few enough that we can learn to grasp completely on a physical robot in about 1.5 hours.
