Ropedia releases DONIC: one policy learns all two-handed robot manipulation, zero fine-tuning
liuziwei7 · x · 2026-10-31
Ropedia released DONIC, positioned as "SONIC for dexterous manipulation" — bridging the gap between observing how humans manipulate objects and enabling robots to do the same.
The system uses a single policy that tracks human bimanual demonstrations and generalizes to unseen trajectories and objects across two-handed interactions, with zero fine-tuning required.
