Foundation Models Enhance Hand-Object Interaction Research

A new survey paper systematically reviews the application of large foundation models to hand-object interaction (HOI) tasks. It categorizes existing methods into six HOI tasks and proposes a taxonomy of eight foundation-model sub-priors, including geometric, semantic, and visual priors. The paper analyzes how these priors are integrated into HOI pipelines and discusses their use in robot learning, such as skill transfer and data generation. Additionally, it provides an overview of datasets, evaluation protocols, and future research directions, supported by a continuously updated repository. AI

IMPACT This survey provides a structured overview of how large foundation models can advance hand-object interaction research, potentially accelerating progress in robotics and embodied AI.

    Hand-Object Interaction in the Age of Large Foundation Models:Reconstruction, Generation, and Embodied Transfer

    arXiv:2607.28394v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hand-object interaction (HOI) modeling remains challenging because it requires joint reasoning about hand articulation, object geometry, contact, semantics, and dynamics under severe visual uncertainty. Foundation models introduce t…
