object manipulation or tabletop detection with non-PR2

I want my Scitos robot with Schunk arm to detect and grab objects, likely from a table. I looked at all those packages (object_manipulation, tabletopobjectperception, pr2objectmanipulation_launch, pr2tabletopmanipulation_apps and the like) but the documentation is too small or too PR2-concentrated to understand all those complex packages and their dependecies. And whether one is lacking a deprecated note.

A top-level graph would be great, or a robot independent step by step guide.

I have a octomap from kinect for collision, a followtrajectoryaction server and the arm_navigation node running. Which packages or nodes do I need to do tabletop manipulations, and which are needless as they only help when using a PR2?

Right now I have a robot, and Im looking to do some object detection, did you finally manage to accomplish it with a robot different than PR2?

Actually I went for other topics. The only thing I got to see working was the planar segmentation from kinect data. launchfile and my code I cannot find online.
