OpenAI trains Dactyl robotic hand system for dexterous object manipulation

Jul 30, 2018 · Research Publication · OpenAI · Foundation Models

Key points

  • OpenAI published Dactyl, a robotic-hand system trained entirely in simulation and transferred to real-world manipulation.
  • The work used a Shadow Dexterous Hand to reposition objects such as blocks and prisms from camera and fingertip observations.
  • The project is relevant as an early OpenAI robotics milestone around sim-to-real dexterous manipulation.

Company context

OpenAI develops foundation models, AI products and research systems, with a renewed robotics program focused on general-purpose robotics, robotic data acquisition, perception, simulation and model evaluation in physical environments. Its robotics relevance is model-layer and infrastructure-led rather than OEM-led.
