dex-retargeting 0.3.2

Hand pose retargeting for dexterous robot hand.

Dex Retargeting

Various retargeting optimizers to translate human hand motion to robot hand motion.

This repo originates from AnyTeleop Project

Installation

pip install dex_retargeting

To run the example, you may need additional dependencies for rendering and hand pose detection.

git clone https://github.com/dexsuite/dex-retargeting
cd dex-retargeting
pip install -e ".[example]"

Examples

Retargeting from human hand video

This type of retargeting can be used for applications like teleoperation, e.g. AnyTeleop.

Retarget from hand object pose dataset

This type of retargeting can be used post-process human data for robot imitation, e.g. DexMV.
