HROARR
THE DEXTEROUS
HROARR combines VLM-based task planning with dexterous grasp detection, decomposing complex manipulation tasks like 'assemble the device' into primitive actions, each with precise grasp poses computed from the visual scene. Complex manipulation requires both high-level reasoning (what to do) and low-level precision (how to grasp) — HROARR bridges this gap, enabling robots to execute multi-step manipulation tasks from natural language instructions with the dexterity needed for real-world assembly and handling.

WHY THIS IS HARD
Building HROARR requires solving multiple coupled problems:
- 01Achieving real-time performance on edge hardware
- 02Maintaining accuracy across diverse conditions
- 03Seamless integration with existing ANIMA modules
- 04Robust operation in degraded environments
HROARR solves these through careful architecture design and rigorous validation.
