Object affordance and volumetric information are essential in devising effective grasping strategies under task-specific constraints. This paper presents an approach for inferring suitable grasping strategies from limited partial views of an object. To achieve this, a recurrent generative adversarial network (R-GAN) was proposed by incorporating a recurrent generator with long short-term memory (LSTM) units for it to process a variable number of depth scans. To determine object affordances, the AffordPose knowledge dataset is utilized as prior knowledge. Affordance retrieving is defined by the volume similarity measured via Chamfer Distance and action similarities. A Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) reinforcement learning model is further implemented to refine the retrieved grasp strategies for task-oriented grasping. The retrieved grasp strategies were evaluated on a dual-arm mobile manipulation robot with an overall grasping accuracy of 89% for four tasks: lift, handle grasp, wrap grasp, and press.
