ConTrack: Constrained Hand Motion Tracking with Adaptive Trade-off Control

Yutong Liang, Quanquan Peng, Ri-Zhao Qiu, Xiaolong Wang

Takeaway: When transferring human hand-object manipulation to a robot, the primary goal is to preserve the object's motion, then the remaining control flexibility can be used to replicate human hand-object contact.

XL-VLA: Cross-Hand Latent Representation for Vision-Language-Action Models

Guangqi Jiang*, Yutong Liang*, Jianglong Ye, Jia-Yang Huang, Changwei Jing, Rocky Duan, Pieter Abbeel, Xiaolong Wang†, Xueyan Zou†

Takeaway: Embodiment-invariant latent action space enhances performance as demonstrations scale across different hand embodiments, similarly to scaling with additional data from a single hand.

DexterCap: An Affordable and Automated System for Capturing Dexterous Hand-Object Manipulation

Yutong Liang*, Shiyi Xu*, Yulong Zhang*, Bowen Zhan, He Zhang, Libin Liu

Takeaway: Dexterous in-hand manipulation can be captured by providing dense motion information while minimizing interference caused by markers.
