Sim-MEES: Modular End-Effector System Grasping Dataset for Mobile Manipulators in Cluttered Environments

In this paper, we present Sim-MEES: a large-scale synthetic dataset that contains 1,550 objects with varying difficulty levels and physics properties, as well as 11 million grasp labels for mobile manipulators to plan grasps using different gripper modalities in cluttered environments. Our dataset generation process combines analytic models and dynamic simulations of the entire cluttered environment to provide accurate grasp labels. We provide a detailed study of our proposed labeling process for both parallel jaw grippers and suction cup grippers, comparing them with state-of-the-art methods to demonstrate how Sim-MEES can provide precise grasp labels in cluttered environments.
