A Robotic Hand Plans Around Its Own Topology
DexGraspFlow represents both geometry and the kinematic tree, then transfers grasps across hands and even finger-removal variants.
Summary
DexGraspFlow represents both geometry and the kinematic tree, then transfers grasps across hands and even finger-removal variants.
Dexterous grasp generators must cope with hands whose links and joints do not line up. DexGraspFlow combines link-level SE(3) flow matching with attention biases derived from kinematic-tree distance. Across three hands and 30 object-hand pairs, the authors report 95.33 percent average simulation success and generation latency about 49 percent below a compared baseline. A hand-specific model reached 91 percent over 100 physical grasp trials. These are study results, not a universal guarantee across robots or objects.
