GR-Dexter Technical Report

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have enabled language-conditioned, long-horizon robot manipulation, but most existing systems are limited to grippers. Scaling VLA policies to bimanual robots with high degree-of-freedom (DoF) dexterous hands remains challenging due to the expanded action space, frequent hand-object occlusions, and the cost of collecting real-robot data. We present GR-Dexter, a holistic hardware-model-data framework for VLA-based generalist manipulation on a bimanual dexterous-hand robot. Our approach combines the design of a compact 21-DoF robotic hand, an intuitive bimanual teleoperation system for real-robot data collection, and a training recipe that leverages teleoperated robot trajectories together with large-scale vision-language and carefully curated cross-embodiment datasets. Across real-world evaluations spanning long-horizon everyday manipulation and generalizable pick-and-place, GR-Dexter achieves strong in-domain performance and improved robustness to unseen objects and unseen instructions. We hope GR-Dexter serves as a practical step toward generalist dexterous-hand robotic manipulation.

Hand-in-the-Loop: Improving Dexterous VLA via Seamless Interventional Correction

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are prone to compounding errors in dexterous manipulation, where high-dimensional action spaces and contact-rich dynamics amplify small policy deviations over long horizons. While Interactive Imitation Learning (IIL) can refine policies through human takeover data, applying it to high-degree-of-freedom (DoF) robotic hands remains challenging due to a command mismatch between human teleoperation and policy execution at the takeover moment, which causes abrupt robot-hand configuration changes, or "gesture jumps". We present Hand-in-the-Loop (HandITL), a seamless human-in-the-loop intervention method that blends human corrective intent with autonomous policy execution to avoid gesture jumps during bimanual dexterous manipulation. Compared with direct teleoperation takeover, HandITL reduces takeover jitter by 99.8% and preserves robust post-takeover manipulation, reducing grasp failures by 87.5% and mean completion time by 19.1%. We validate HandITL on tasks requiring bimanual coordination, tool use, and fine-grained long-horizon manipulation. When used to collect intervention data for policy refinement, HandITL yields policies that outperform those trained with standard teleoperation data by 19% on average across three long-horizon dexterous tasks.

Multi-Contact Motion Retargeting using Whole-body Optimization of Full Kinematics and Sequential Force Equilibrium

This paper presents a multi-contact motion adaptation framework that enables teleoperation of high degree-of-freedom (DoF) robots, such as quadrupeds and humanoids, for loco-manipulation tasks in multi-contact settings. Our proposed algorithms optimize whole-body configurations and formulate the retargeting of multi-contact motions as sequential quadratic programming, which is robust and stable near the edges of feasibility constraints. Our framework allows real-time operation of the robot and reduces cognitive load for the operator because infeasible commands are automatically adapted into physically stable and viable motions on the robot. The results in simulations with full dynamics demonstrated the effectiveness of teleoperating different legged robots interactively and generating rich multi-contact movements. We evaluated the computational efficiency of the proposed algorithms, and further validated and analyzed multi-contact loco-manipulation tasks on humanoid and quadruped robots by reaching, active pushing and various traversal on uneven terrains.

Force-guided High-precision Grasping Control of Fragile and Deformable Objects using sEMG-based Force Prediction

Regulating contact forces with high precision is crucial for grasping and manipulating fragile or deformable objects. We aim to utilize the dexterity of human hands to regulate the contact forces for robotic hands and exploit human sensory-motor synergies in a wearable and non-invasive way. We extracted force information from the electric activities of skeletal muscles during their voluntary contractions through surface electromyography (sEMG). We built a regression model based on a Neural Network to predict the gripping force from the preprocessed sEMG signals and achieved high accuracy (R2 = 0.982). Based on the force command predicted from human muscles, we developed a force-guided control framework, where force control was realized via an admittance controller that tracked the predicted gripping force reference to grasp delicate and deformable objects. We demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method on a set of representative fragile and deformable objects from daily life, all of which were successfully grasped without any damage or deformation.
