• Abstract: Human hands, the primary means of non-verbal communication, convey intricate semantics in various scenarios. Due to the high sensitivity of individuals to hand motions, even minor errors in hand motions can significantly impact the user experience. Real applications often involve multiple avatars with varying hand shapes, highlighting the importance of maintaining the intricate semantics of hand motions across the avatars. Therefore, this paper aims to transfer the hand motion semantics between diverse avatars based on their respective hand models. To address this problem, we introduce a novel anatomy-based semantic matrix (ASM) that encodes the semantics of hand motions. The ASM quantifies the positions of the palm and other joints relative to the local frame of the corresponding joint, enabling precise retargeting of hand motions. Subsequently, we obtain a mapping function from the source ASM to the target hand joint rotations by employing an anatomy-based semantics reconstruction network (ASRN). We train the ASRN using a semi-supervised learning strategy on the Mixamo and InterHand2.6M datasets. We evaluate our method in intra-domain and cross-domain hand motion retargeting tasks. The qualitative and quantitative results demonstrate the significant superiority of our ASRN over the state-of-the-arts.

  Hands are dexterous and highly versatile manipulators that are central to how humans interact with objects and their environment. modeling realistic hand-object interactions is critical for applications in computer graphics, computer vision, and mixed reality. GRIP is a learning-based method that takes as input the 3D motion of the body and the object, and synthesizes realistic motion for both hands before, during, and after object interaction.

  We propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation framework which can simultaneously transfer multi-modality knowledge, i.e., both kinematic and visual data, from simulator to real robot. It remedies the domain gap with enhanced transferable features by using temporal cues in videos, and inherent correlations in multi-modal towards recognizing gesture. Results show that our approach recovers the performance with great improvement gains, up to 12.91% in ACC and 20.16% in F1score without using any annotations in real robot.
