Recent work in humanoid whole-body control has found success with a simple recipe: retarget human motion to robot kinematic references, then train policies via reinforcement learning (RL) to track them. But how does this recipe transfer to dexterous manipulation?
arXiv:2604. 04138v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Dexterous manipulation requires planning a grasp configuration suited to the object and task, which is then executed through coordinated multi-finger control.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong capabilities in robotic manipulation by integrating visual perception, language understanding, and robot action generation. Existing research has primarily focused on improving model architectures, training strategies, and dataset scale, while little attention has been paid to how demonstrations are collected and organized.
arXiv:2606. 12109v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pre-trained Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models provide useful semantic and spatial priors, yet their parallel-gripper action interfaces do not specify how those priors should be realized by a dexterous hand.
