arXiv:2606.26428v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-fingered robots promise the speed and dexterity of human hands, yet challenging problems such as precise assembly have remained out of reach. These tasks are contact-rich, making data collection for imitation learning difficult, and sparse-reward, making direct exploration with reinforcement learning (RL) intractable. Consequently, prior work has made progress by structuring the problem with specialized grippers, tool attachments, and environment fixtures. In this work, we argue that before a robot can perfect precise assembly, it
