Distributed Dexterous Manipulation with Spatially Conditioned Multi-Agent Transformers

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 7, 2026 · UTC

Distributed Dexterous Manipulation (DDM) is a novel paradigm that presents significant control challenges due to high action-space redundancy, inter-robot cooperation, and dynamic object-robot interactions. This paper introduces a framework based on spatially conditioned Multi-Agent Transformers (MATs) to efficiently learn robust control policies for a DDM system grounded in an array of 64 soft delta robots arranged in an 8x8 grid. Our three core contributions are: (i) an MAT with adaptive layer norm for compute efficiency, (ii) spatial contrastive embeddings to ground transformer embeddings i
