Brief

DexTwist introduces a functional twist-retargeting method for MR-based teleoperation that targets contact-rich rotational manipulation where kinematic imitation fails. The system detects tripod pinches, estimates intended screw axis and twist, then performs a real-time joint-space residual optimization minimizing a virtual-object objective (turn angle, axis consistency, fingertip closure, tripod stability). Simulations and real tests demonstrate improved turning-angle tracking and reduced screw-axis drift versus a vector-based baseline.
