Benchmarking Dexterity of Multifingered Robot Hands: A Review and Perspective
📝 Abstract
Robot hands are a key interface between AI and the physical world, making advances in robotic dexterity essential to realizing the vision of physical AI. While impressive dexterity has been demonstrated with simple grippers, multifingered hands offer the potential for substantially greater versatility, precision, and adaptability in manipulation. In this review, we survey the state of the art in benchmarking the dexterity of multifingered robot hands. Recognizing dexterity as a complex and multifaceted concept, we present the perspective of the U.S. National Science Foundation HAND Engineering Research Center, with a particular focus on fine in-hand manipulation. We introduce a framework consisting of three benchmark levels that correspond to increasing system complexity, review representative benchmarks at each level, and propose new benchmarks and metrics to address limitations in the literature.
