Abstract
Multi-object grasping is a fundamental yet challenging problem, constrained by data collection costs, varying spatial layouts, and the need for broad generalization. To address these challenges, we propose MoDex, a data-efficient framework that provides the first unified solution for universal multi-object dexterous grasping across diverse spatial layouts. MoDex accomplishes this by formulating the task as a single-step decision problem of learning residual corrections to a reference trajectory, and introducing a spatially adaptive dual-strategy that performs single-shot grasping for proximal objects and sequential interaction for separated objects. Extensive evaluations show that MoDex significantly outperforms baselines in proximal configurations, achieving 61.24% success on unseen objects, and achieves high success rates in separated layouts. Further experiments demonstrate its generalization across robot embodiments, scalability and zero-shot sim-to-real deployment through a vision-based policy trained solely on simulation data. Code and pretrained models are available at https://github.com/Aurora-Xiong/MoDex.
