Text-Driven 3D Hand Motion Generation from Sign Language Data
Our goal is to train a generative model of 3D hand motions, conditioned on natural language descriptions specifying motion characteristics such as handshapes, locations, finger/hand/arm movements. To this end, we automatically build pairs of 3D hand motions and their associated textual labels with unprecedented scale. Specifically, we leverage a large-scale sign language video dataset, along with noisy pseudo-annotated sign categories, which we translate into hand motion descriptions via an LLM…

MagiClaw: A Dual-Use, Vision-Based Soft Gripper for Bridging the Human Demonstration to Robotic Deployment Gap
The transfer of manipulation skills from human demonstration to robotic execution is often hindered by a "domain gap" in sensing and morphology.

Correlated cell movements drive epithelial finger formation
Epithelia form protective barriers in multicellular organisms. To maintain homeostasis, they must be able to regenerate and heal damaged areas. This occurs through collective cell migration, during which finger-like protrusions commonly appear. Whether these protrusions are driven by specialised leader cells, biochemical cues, or generic physical interactions remains unclear. Integrating in vitro imaging, agent-based simulations, and continuum modelling, we show that correlated active cell moti…

After reading #keyboard layout for fun.
Of course, not so I could "type faster". And that's for two reasons:
1. To type faster, you have to learn the right hand and finger positions, etc. I know my habits ain't perfect, and I don't see a point in learning otherwise — see point two.
2. At least in my case of creative writing, blunt typing speed isn't the bottleneck; figuring out what to write is. And most of my corrections aren't typos, but changes of thought.
In this case, I've figured out that there's really no point in learning touch typing with a new layout. So the most obvious choice for trying one is to use it on a touchscreen, where I could change the visible layout with no effort.
But then, I've started wondering: I mostly use gesture typing, and I've noticed that it's much easier when the letters constituting the word in question are spread across keyboard, rather than close to one another. In the latter case, the keyboard often has trouble in recognizing the correct word. If the ergonomic layouts focus on putting frequent letters close to one another, wouldn't gesture typing be harder?
And indeed, Colemak's FAQ clearly states that it's not recommended for smartphones. It's kinda curious that after so many years of #QWERTY being criticized, a new technology turns out to benefit from precisely this layout.

Dexterous manipulation tasks often require switching between different contact modes, such as rolling, sliding, sticking, or non-contact contact modes.

Optimizing each sub-task independently can limit performance, as optimizing contact points, contact forces, or other variables without informa…

Diffusing Trajectory Optimization Problems for Recovery During Multi-Finger Manipulation
Multi-fingered hands are emerging as powerful platforms for performing fine manipulation tasks, including tool use. However, environmental perturbations or execution errors can impede task performance, motivating the use of recovery behaviors that enable normal task execution to resume. In this work, we take advantage of recent advances in diffusion models to construct a framework that autonomously identifies when recovery is necessary and optimizes contact-rich trajectories to recover.
