Abstract

Building general-purpose dexterous manipulation policies requires benchmarks that go beyond isolated tasks to systematically evaluate policies across diverse interaction modes, sensory conditions, and robot embodiments. However, existing benchmarks remain limited in task and data diversity, embodiment coverage, or controllable visual variation, hindering studies of cross-task and cross-embodiment generalization. We present DexVerse, a large-scale and modular benchmark for dexterous manipulation. DexVerse includes 100 tasks spanning a broad range of manipulation skills, including object grasping and relocation, articulated-object interaction, functional tool use, bimanual coordination, non-prehensile control, contact-rich behaviors, multi-goal execution, and long-horizon multi-stage task completion. It supports 3 robot arms and 6 dexterous hands, and is extensible to new tasks, assets, and embodiments. To evaluate visuomotor generalization, DexVerse provides configurable visual variations in textures, background, lighting, and camera viewpoints. We further provide a VR-based teleoperation interface and 3,180 demonstrations with synchronized proprioceptive, RGB, depth, point-cloud, and state observations. We benchmark representative methods, including Diffusion Policy, DP3, OpenVLA, and $\pi_{0.5}$, across 19 tasks. Results reveal substantial challenges in task generalization and visuomotor robustness, establishing DexVerse as a promising testbed for general-purpose dexterous manipulation.

DexJoCo-X: Benchmarking Action Representations for Multi-Hand Dexterous Manipulation

As dexterous hands proliferate, collecting data and training policies separately for every morphology becomes increasingly impractical. Scalable cross-embodiment learning therefore requires a unified representation that captures shared manipulation structure while preserving morphology-specific control. Differences in...

GOTT: Object-centric Dexterous Manipulation with a Reusable Cross-Embodiment Primitive

Foundation models and large-scale human data provide rich sources of manipulation intent, but translating this intent into multi-fingered robot behavior remains difficult. Dexterous hands still lack a reusable low-level primitive that reliably establishes contact across tasks and embodiments. We propose GOTT, a reach-a...
