Using the same hand hardware for both data collection and deployment, combined with skill-based finger coordination, makes dexterous manipulation data collection 10-20x more practical than traditional teleoperation while improving task success rates to 78%.
DexPort is a portable hand-held device that simplifies collecting demonstrations for dexterous robot manipulation. Instead of controlling each finger joint independently, operators use the device to specify wrist motion and select pre-defined finger skills, making data collection practical without a full robot setup.
