GoalDex: Learning Image-Goal-Conditioned Policies for Dexterous In-Hand Manipulation

GoalDex: Learning Image-Goal-Conditioned Policies for Dexterous In-Hand Manipulation

Summary

This research introduces GoalDex, an end-to-end visuomotor framework for dexterous in-hand manipulation that operates on RGB observations and proprioception without intermediate pose estimation. The approach jointly learns visual representations and control policies through behavior distillation from privileged state teachers and auxiliary reconstruction objectives. It enables image-goal-conditioned reorientation, allowing desired object configurations to be specified directly through images. Evaluated across diverse object geometries in simulation, the method consistently outperforms pose-based methods and policies built on pretrained visual encoders. The authors also demonstrate direct sim-to-real transfer of a single image-goal-conditioned policy across five real-world objects, achieving accurate dexterous reorientation without explicit pose estimation.

Editorial context

The authors present an end-to-end visuomotor framework that learns image-goal-conditioned policies for dexterous in-hand manipulation without explicit pose estimation, demonstrating sim-to-real transfer across five real-world objects.
