摘要

Many manipulation tasks require separating adhered, embedded, contaminated, or mechanically constrained targets. We study this setting as removal manipulation, where progress depends on evolving contact states that are only partially observable from vision and kinematics. We introduce DexRemo, a three-finger robotic hand with high-force actuation, modular fingertips, and three-axis fingertip force sensing, together with a nine-scenario real-robot task suite spanning adhesive detachment, surface cleaning and self-cleaning, and occluded retrieval. To make multi-finger force observations easier to fuse, we express fingertip forces in a shared wrist-centered frame, giving force components consistent geometric meaning across fingers and time. Using an Action Chunking Transformer backbone, policies fuse multi-view vision, proprioception, fingertip pose, and force observations to predict closed-loop action chunks from demonstrations. Evaluation uses six core benchmark tasks for controlled fingertip-input and force-frame ablations, plus three extension scenarios for additional held-out coverage. Across these evaluations, the learned policies achieve consistent removal performance, and ablations show that wrist-frame forces, especially with fingertip pose, improve stability and generalization over local-frame force inputs and no-force baselines.
