Grasp Affordance

The property of an object that enables it to be grasped — its handles, edges, flat surfaces, and other geometric features that support stable contact. Detecting grasp affordances from point clouds or images predicts where and how a gripper should make contact. Neural affordance models learn to predict grasping regions without explicit geometric analysis.
