arXiv:2606. 12109v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot generalization in robotic manipulation, yet the vast majority of pre-trained pipelines remain strictly confined to low-DoF parallel grippers.

arXiv:2606. 12728v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Most learned dexterous grasp generators relegate contact forces to a downstream verification step, so a kinematically-plausible pose can still violate the conditions for a stable physical grasp.

arXiv:2608. 19759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multifingered grasping is a crucial robotic skill, but current deep-learning grasp planners often struggle to generalize to new objects because they are trained on limited, object-specific datasets.

arXiv:2608. 19776v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current dexterous grasp planners primarily optimize for physical stability, focusing on whether an object can be grasped rather than how it should be grasped to support downstream functional tasks.

The paper introduces an interaction‑centric framework that unifies representations for two‑finger gripper manipulation across different robot embodiments. By using a parameterized universal gripper abstraction and a canonical gripper‑frame representation, the system infers sub‑tasks from language and RGB‑D inputs, grounds interaction triplets, and employs hybrid features and a Flow‑Matching Transformer to generate smooth 7‑DoF action sequences. Experiments in both simulation and real‑world settings show that this approach achieves competitive benchmark performance while enabling extreme cross‑embodiment and cross‑viewpoint zero‑shot sim‑to‑real transfer to heterogeneous robot platforms.
