In-Hand Manipulation

Repositioning or reorienting an object within the robot's grasp using finger motions, without placing it down. In-hand manipulation is essential for dexterous assembly and tool use. It requires multi-fingered hands with tactile sensing and sophisticated control. Tasks include object rotation, translation, and pivoting. RL with domain randomization has achieved impressive in-hand rotation results.
