AnyDexRT: Calibration-Free Dexterous Hand Retargeting with Few-Shot Human Guidance

Chenxi Wang, Ying Feng, Hongjie Fang, Shangning Xia, Lixin Yang, Chuan Wen, Cewu Lu

Teleoperation is a key interface for controlling dexterous robotic hands and collecting demonstrations for imitation learning. Its effectiveness largely depends on kinematic retargeting, which maps operator hand motions to feasible and intuitive robot hand motions. Existing methods often require hand-crafted objectives, precise calibration, or global shape matching between human and robot hand spaces, making them sensitive to hand-specific tuning and less reliable across different dexterous hands. We propose AnyDexRT, a calibration-free retargeting method for intuitive dexterous teleoperation across human-like dexterous hands. AnyDexRT combines self-supervised fingertip correspondence learning with few-shot human guidance to anchor the mapping in task-relevant regions, and further refines pinch-related poses using a contact classifier. Experiments on diverse dexterous hands and real-world teleoperation tasks show that AnyDexRT improves retargeting quality, reduces manual tuning, and provides more intuitive and efficient control than prior retargeting methods.

Real-world robot deployment rarely maintains the training-stage camera setup, where cameras often experience repositioning or remounting depending on actual scenarios. Existing view-robust Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies tolerate such camera variations only when the camera…

Handroid: Bridging Dexterous Hand and Humanoid

Ruogu Li, Chenyang Ma, Sikai Li, Zhenyu Wei, Yunchao Yao, Haochen Shi, et al.

Dexterous hands and humanoid robots are typically developed as distinct embodiments: the former enable contact-rich manipulation at the object scale, whereas the latter provide mobility and whole-body interaction in human-centered environments. We introduce \textbf{Handroid}, a d…

A Minimalist Retargeting-Guided Reinforcement Learning Recipe for Dexterous Manipulation

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? The answer is no…
