摘要
Learning dexterous manipulation from demonstrations is bottlenecked by data: the contact forces that determine whether a grasp succeeds are absent from every scalable source of human demonstrations. This paper builds on two observations. First, what survives the change from a human hand to a robot hand is the contact structure of a demonstration - which finger regions touch which object locations, and in what order - rather than its joint motion. Second, physical consistency need not be engineered per task: a single residual reinforcement learning (RL) policy, trained once across diverse demonstrations, can repair kinematic recordings into physically consistent, contact-annotated trajectories, and the same residual formulation restores dynamic feasibility after retargeting. These observations yield a three-stage pipeline that converts human motion-capture recordings into dexterous robot policies with no real-robot training data: physics refinement with a simulated MANO hand recovers contacts and forces, contact-anchored retargeting transfers the demonstrated contact structure through an objective independent of hand morphology, and residual policy learning adapts the result to robot actuation. The pipeline reconstructs 25,454 single-hand trajectories (success 7.3% -> 59.3%) and 25 dual-hand tasks (16.0% -> 62.4%) with one shared policy per setting, transfers one human dataset to four morphologically distinct robot hands (+62.4 pp), and executes four contact-rich bimanual tasks on physical hardware with zero real-robot training data.
