Aero Hand Open: A Simulation-Ready Tendon-Driven Hand for Dexterous Manipulation Learning
Nan Wang, Mohit Yadav, Jonathan Wulff +5
Tendon-driven hands are anthropomorphic, and moving the actuators off the joints is what makes a hand of this capability affordable to build. Two effects produce that saving. Routi…

Contrastive Action-Image Pre-training for Visuomotor Control
Yuvan Sharma, Dantong Niu, Anirudh Pai +16
Existing vision encoders for robotics face a fundamental bottleneck: robotic datasets lack the scale necessary for large-scale pre-training. Prior work circumvents this data scarci…
