Evo-DexBench: Benchmarking Generalization across Related Tasks for Dexterous Manipulation

General-purpose dexterous manipulation requires policies to transfer knowledge from related tasks to new tasks with only a few target demonstrations.

Key points

  • Core tasks are related tasks that share a functional interaction and provide source knowledge, while a Gen task is a novel target within the same functional family that has only a few demonstrations.
  • This setup tests whether a policy can reuse functional interaction knowledge.
  • Based on this principle, we propose Evo-DexBench, which controls both source-task relatedness and target-task exposure.
  • We release the Evo-DexBench dataset and benchmark to support the evaluation of dexterous manipulation policies' generalization across related tasks.
