arXiv:2608.16351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dexterous grasp generation that considers arm-related constraints is crucial in real-world scenarios involving arm environment collision avoidance, workspace boundary grasps, and consecutive grasping. Existing hand-centric grasp models, which primarily focus on the floating hand's pose, are insufficient for such cases. Conventional arm-aware methods either rely on rejection sampling to discard infeasible samples or require retraining on arm-specific data, leading to low sample efficiency under adverse conditions or limited generalization across different robots and environments. To overcome these limitations, this letter presents an arm-aware dexterous grasp generation framework that leverages pretrained arm-agnostic grasp models while integrating arm and environmental information only at inference time. Specifically, we formulate arm-aware constrained grasp generation as a joint optimization of hand pose and arm configuration, and derive closed-form gradients for arm-related constraints. Assuming the hand pose distribution is represented by a diffusion model, we prove that gradient-based optimization is equivalent to guided diffusion sampling, steering near-feasible samples toward the feasible region. Through comprehensive evaluation involving 10k objects across 6 scenarios, we demonstrate that the proposed framework generates feasible grasps in highly constrained settings with significantly higher probability, highlighting its advantages in real-world applications.
