DexFlow presents a unified method for translating human hand movements to robotic hands, ensuring both anatomical accuracy and physical plausibility. This approach improves grasp quality by reducing object penetration by 90% and contact state fluctuations by 68% compared to traditional retargeting methods.

Key insights

  • A hierarchical optimization framework is employed to balance global pose establishment with fine-grained local contact refinement.
  • Sequential finger optimization, starting with the thumb, is used to account for interdependencies between digits during grasping.
  • Dual-threshold contact detection combined with frame-to-frame smoothing effectively identifies stable contact points, significantly reducing noisy fluctuations and object penetration.
