Fast Generative Grasping via Lie Group-Constrained MeanFlow

Recent data-driven methods for synthesizing 6-DoF grasp poses use generative models to learn complex grasp pose distributions and generate diverse candidate poses. In particular, SE(3)-equivariant flow-based models generate grasp poses that transform consistently with object rotations and translations. However, these methods sample by iterative numerical integration, requiring tens of function evaluations per grasp and limiting their use in real-time manipulation. We propose GraspMeanFlow, an SE(3)-equivariant MeanFlow framework for few-step 6-DoF grasp generation. Our method learns the average velocity over a finite time interval, defined through the time-ordered exponential so that it reproduces exactly the rigid-body displacement accumulated over that interval. We prove that a point-cloud-conditioned distribution transported by an equivariant average-velocity flow map remains invariant, so equivariance is retained under few-step sampling, and we condition the field on a pair of times by lifting both to equivariant vectors, leaving the backbone otherwise unchanged. For stable training, we pair a flow-matching boundary term with either of two consistency terms: the differential MeanFlow identity, whose target requires a Jacobian-vector product, or an equivalent semigroup loss that avoids it. Experiments on ACRONYM show that a single function evaluation of GraspMeanFlow reaches the EMD that an iterative SE(3) flow model needs five steps to approach, that a second instantiation of the same framework improves grasp success by up to 24.3 points in the few-step regime, and that both generate grasp distributions transforming exactly with the object.

Denoising generative models have recently become the dominant paradigm for dexterous grasp generation, owing to their ability to model complex grasp distributions from large-scale data. However, existing diffusion-based methods typically formulate generation as a stochastic differential equation (SDE), which often requires many sequential denoising steps and introduces trajectory instability that can lead to physically infeasible grasps. In this paper, we propose EFF-Grasp, a novel Flow-Matching-based framework for physics-aware dexterous grasp generation. Specifically, we reformulate grasp synthesis as a deterministic ordinary differential equation (ODE) process, which enables efficient and stable generation through smooth probability flows. To further enforce physical feasibility, we introduce a training-free physics-aware energy guidance strategy. Our method defines an energy-guided target distribution using adapted explicit physical energy functions that capture key grasp constraints, and estimates the corresponding guidance term via a local Monte Carlo approximation during inference. In this way, EFF-Grasp dynamically steers the generation trajectory toward physically feasible regions without requiring additional physics-based training or simulation feedback. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets show that EFF-Grasp achieves superior performance in grasp quality and physical feasibility, while requiring substantially fewer sampling steps than diffusion-based baselines.

Differences in hand geometry, joint parameterization, and kinematic topology pose challenges for cross-embodiment dexterous grasp generation. However, spatial relations among links alone are insufficient to fully capture the hand's kinematic topology. We propose DexGraspFlow, a conditional link-level $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ flow-matching framework integrating geometric relations and kinematic topology. The framework encodes local object geometry, link geometry, and current poses. A dual-stream DiT models link--link coordination and link--object interaction, while attention biases derived from kinematic-tree distances provide explicit structural information for modeling evolving geometric interactions. The model jointly learns translational and rotational velocity fields, integrates them to generate link poses, and recovers joint configurations through inverse kinematics. Additionally, inference-time palm-orientation guidance enables controllable grasp generation without retraining. Across three robotic hands and 30 object--hand pairs, DexGraspFlow achieves a 95.33% average simulation success rate, with an average generation latency, including inverse kinematics, approximately 49% lower than that of a state-of-the-art baseline. Further experiments demonstrate zero-shot adaptability to seven finger-removal variants and palm-orientation control. A model trained on demonstrations for the deployed hand achieves a 91% success rate over 100 real-robot grasping trials, supporting the framework's applicability to physical grasp execution.
