DexPort: A Hand-Held Skill Interface for Dexterous Hand Data Collection

Read the original on arXiv AI →

DexPort is a portable interface that lets operators collect high‑quality dexterous hand demonstrations without a full robot setup. By using the same hand hardware for both collection and deployment, it records joint targets and states while allowing operators to specify wrist motion and select from a small set of coordinated finger skills. The authors collected over 2,500 demonstrations across four real‑world tasks, showing significant performance gains when using recorded robot commands and in‑the‑wild data.

BiDex-100: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Bimanual Dexterous Manipulation Across 100+ Simulation Tasks

BiDex-100 is a simulation benchmark for bimanual dexterous manipulation, featuring 106 tasks across five capability axes—generalization, instruction following, limited demonstrations, long horizon, and memory. Each task includes an out‑of‑domain variant to test robustness, and the benchmark supports two hand embodiments with 8,080 teleoperated demonstrations totaling 6.25 million frames. The authors evaluate seven recent Vision‑Language‑Action models under a unified protocol, providing baseline performance for capability, robustness, and data efficiency.

TACROSS: An Efficient and Low-Cost Scalable Human Touch System Across Heterogeneous Tactile Sensors for Dexterous Robot Learning

TACROSS is a low‑cost, scalable system that enables robots to learn from human touch by aligning tactile streams at the level of contact events rather than raw sensor values. It combines a $10.86 piezoresistive glove with 285 sensing points and a temporal Transformer that maps heterogeneous signals into a shared 256‑dimensional latent space. The approach uses robot demonstrations for action supervision while human demonstrations aid tactile representation learning, achieving a 3.5‑fold efficiency improvement and a 95.7% reduction in demonstration equipment cost across four manipulation tasks.
