Official code for "Efficient Residual Learning with Mixture-of-Experts for Universal Dexterous Grasping" (ICLR 2025)

For detailed information, please refer to our paper.

Installation

1. Clone repository:

git clone https://github.com/analyst-huang/ResDex.git
cd ResDex

2. Create conda environment:

conda create -n resdex python=3.8
conda activate resdex

3. Install IsaacGym

Download Isaac Gym Preview 4 here and follow the installation document.

4. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Install PointNet2:

You can download PointNet2 here.

unzip Pointnet2_PyTorch-master.zip
cd Pointnet2_PyTorch-master
pip install -e .
cd pointnet2_ops_lib
pip install -e .

Data Preparation

The dataset is organized as:

assets/
├── datasetv4.1/
├── meshdatav3_pc_feat/
├── meshdatav3_scaled/
├── pcldata/
├── ......

We provide an example object in assets. 3200 training objects are specified in train_set.yaml. The testing objects are specified in test_set_seen_cat.yaml and test_set_unseen_cat.yaml. You can change the objects used for training and evaluation in cfg/shadow_hand_*.yaml.

You can download the complete dataset here for datasetv4.1, and here for meshdatav3_pc_feat and meshdatav3_scaled. After downloading meshdatav3_scaled and putting it to the corresponding place in assets, you can get pcldata by running the following command:

python script/preprocess_pcl.py

Training & Evaluation

To train a base policy:

bash script/train_blind.sh

To train a residual policy:

First stage training:

bash script/train_residual.sh

Second stage training: Change the goal_cond parameter in shadow_hand_residual_grasp.yaml to False and run the command:

bash script/train_residual.sh

Dagger Distillation:

bash script/train_dagger_vision.sh

Evaluation:

# Base policy
bash script/test_blind.sh

# Residual policy
bash script/test_residual.sh

# Vision policy
bash script/test_dagger_vision.sh
