We develop a conditional generative model to represent dexterous grasp postures of a robotic hand and use it to generate in-hand regrasp trajectories. Our model learns to encode the robotic grasp postures into a low-dimensional space, called Synergy Space, while taking into account additional information about the object such as its size and its shape category. We then generate regrasp trajectories through linear interpolation in this low-dimensional space. The result is that the hand configuration moves from one grasp type to another while keeping the object stable in the hand. We show that our model achieves higher success rate on in-hand regrasping compared to previous methods used for synergy extraction, by taking advantage of the grasp size conditional variable.
