Researchers have developed DextER, a novel system for generating dexterous grasps using language commands and embodied reasoning. DextER predicts contact points between hand and object surfaces as an intermediate step, bridging task semantics with physical constraints. This approach achieved a 67.14% success rate on the DexGYS benchmark, surpassing previous methods by 3.83 percentage points and showing a 96.4% improvement in intention alignment. The system also allows for fine-grained control over grasp synthesis through partial contact specification. AI
