HOC2R: Hand-Object Contact Trajectories for Human-to-Robot Motion Transfer

HOC2R: Hand-Object Contact Trajectories for Human-to-Robot Motion Transfer

Summary

This research presents HOC2R, a system that extracts hand-object contact trajectories from human videos to enable robot motion transfer.

Editorial context

The paper introduces HOC2R, a method combining frozen DINOv3 and SAM 2.1 features to extract hand-object contact trajectories from human videos for robot motion transfer, reporting specific accuracy improvements on a 30-task benchmark and feasibility results across six robot evaluation sequences.

arXiv:2611.08920v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human videos contain abundant object-manipulation demonstrations, but they do not directly provide motion cues that a robot can follow. We present HOC2R, a Hand-Object Contact trajectory extractor for Robot motion that combines frozen DINOv3 and SAM 2.1 features with learned heads for hand-object association and contact localization. HOC2R supports two modes: count-awar

Implications for data suppliers

RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.

  • Match the buyer’s robot embodiment, action space, sensors and timestamp requirements before planning collection.
  • Compare the reported units and scope before using these quantities in a budget. Recording hours, sensor-hours and trajectories are different measures.
  • Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
