Abstract

The acquisition of high-quality, action-aligned demonstration data remains a fundamental bottleneck in scaling foundation models for dexterous robot manipulation. Although robot-free human demonstrations (e.g., the UMI paradigm) offer a scalable alternative to traditional teleoperation, current systems are constrained by sub-optimal hardware ergonomics, open-loop workflows, and a lack of systematic data-mixing strategies. To address these limitations, we present XRZero-G0, a hardware-software co-designed system for embodied data collection and policy learning. The system features an ergonomic, virtual reality interface equipped with a top-view camera and dual specialized grippers to directly improve collection efficiency. To ensure dataset reliability, we propose a closed-loop collection, inspection, training, and evaluation pipeline for non-proprioceptive data. This workflow achieves an 85% data validity rate and establishes a transparent mechanism for quality control. Furthermore, we investigate the empirical scaling behaviors and optimal mixing ratios of robot-free data. Extensive experiments indicate that combining a minimal volume of real-robot data with large-scale robot-free data (e.g., a 10:1 ratio) achieves performance comparable to exclusively real-robot datasets, while reducing acquisition costs by a factor of twenty. Utilizing XRZero-G0, we construct a 2,000-hour robot-free dataset that enables zero-shot cross-embodiment transfer to a target physical robot, demonstrating a highly scalable methodology for generalized real-world manipulation.Our project repository: https://github.com/X-Square-Robot/XRZero-G0

EgoWild2Dex: Learning Dexterous Robotic Manipulation from In-the-Wild Human Experience

Egocentric human data provide a principled source of supervision for learning dexterous robot manipulation. Unlike prior approaches that often collect such data in constrained or specially constructed environments, we collect in-the-wild egocentric demonstrations in real-world settings, including homes, factories, and pharmacies, etc., where people perform their ordinary tasks while wearing head-mounted cameras. This collection protocol captures diverse workflows and hand-object interactions across long-tailed object and skill distributions, but also yields visually challenging observations due to scene clutter and head-motion-induced viewpoint changes (a mean cumulative rotation of 15.93∘15.93^{\circ}/s). To address these issues, we introduce EgoWild2Dex, which transfers in-the-wild ego-human experience to dual-arm robots with dexterous hands by jointly aligning unstable egocentric views and human motions with robot observations and actions, respectively. This work offers three benefits. First, we introduce GeoFormer, a differentiable geometric transformer that warps noisy human observations toward robot observations. Second, we design a human-robot training scheme to bridge the embodiment gap, enabling high task success with limited robot supervision. Third, we release EgoWild, a 538.9-hour in-the-wild egocentric human dataset comprising 179,049 episodes, 125,961 unique task descriptions, and 1,282 object categories. On real robots, EgoWild2Dex achieves an average success rate of 96.7% across three long-horizon bimanual dexterous manipulation tasks and an average object-level zero-shot success rate of 33.3%. The data, models, and code will be released.

RoboTacDex: A Dexterous Visual-Tactile-Action Dataset for Humanoid Manipulation

In the field of robot learning, large-scale and diverse demonstration trajectories provide the fundamental basis for enhancing robotic manipulation ability. We introduce RoboTacDex, a large, multi-modal, and diverse dataset of dexterous manipulation behaviors performed with a humanoid robot. Built on the publicly accessible humanoid robot Unitree G1, RoboTacDex consists of 6k trajectories covering 19 tasks, 23 skills, and interactions with 22 objects. RoboTacDex provides comprehensive records including multi-view RGB and depth information, tactile feedback, and detailed semantic annotations. Furthermore, the dataset features a variety of relatively challenging tasks that can only be completed by dual arms and dexterous hands, aiming to mimic human-like operational logic and simulate real-world manipulation complexity. To ensure data collection quality, we develop an improved multi-camera synchronization system to enable millisecond data synchronization and recording of modalities. In our experiments, we evaluate three representative imitation learning models on our dataset, analyzing their performance as well as their respective strengths and limitations across different task categories. Successful trial results and a moderate level of generalization capabilities across a suite of tasks indicate the effectiveness and diversity of the collected dataset. Our dataset will be open-sourced soon.

Lucid-XR: An Extended-Reality Data Engine for Robotic Manipulation

We introduce Lucid-XR, a generative data engine for creating diverse and realistic-looking multi-modal data to train real-world robotic systems. At the core of Lucid-XR is vuer, a web-based physics simulation environment that runs directly on the XR headset, enabling internet-scale access to immersive, latency-free virtual interactions without requiring specialized equipment. The complete system integrates on-device physics simulation with human-to-robot pose retargeting. Data collected is further amplified by a physics-guided video generation pipeline steerable via natural language specifications. We demonstrate zero-shot transfer of robot visual policies to unseen, cluttered, and badly lit evaluation environments, after training entirely on Lucid-XR's synthetic data. We include examples across dexterous manipulation tasks that involve soft materials, loosely bound particles, and rigid body contact. Project website: https://lucidxr.github.io
