Introduction
Dexterous manipulation is one of the hardest problems in robotics. Despite decades of research, robots still struggle with tasks that human hands perform effortlessly. Solving this challenge requires breakthroughs in multiple fields—mechanical design, motion planning, control, and machine learning. This workshop brings together experts across these disciplines to explore what’s missing and what’s next.
We invite researchers working on dexterous robotic manipulation, manipulator design, tactile sensing, visual perception, and human hand understanding from video. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in discussions, present posters, and give contributed talks. Panelists and speakers, drawn from these research communities, include leading experts from both academia and industry.
