We propose a distributed bundle adjustment (DBA) method using the exact Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm for super large-scale datasets. Most of the existing methods partition the global map to small ones and conduct bundle adjustment in the submaps. In order to fit the parallel framework, they use approximate solutions instead of the LM algorithm. However, those methods often give sub-optimal results. Different from them, we utilize the exact LM algorithm to conduct global bundle adjustment where the formation of the reduced camera system (RCS) is actually parallelized and executed in a distributed way. To store the large RCS, we compress it with a block-based sparse matrix compression format (BSMC), which fully exploits its block feature. The BSMC format also enables the distributed storage and updating of the global RCS. The proposed method is extensively evaluated and compared with the state-of-the-art pipelines using both synthetic and real datasets. Preliminary results demonstrate the efficient memory usage and vast scalability of the proposed method compared with the baselines. For the first time, we conducted parallel bundle adjustment using LM algorithm on a real datasets with 1.18 million images and a synthetic dataset with 10 million images (about 500 times that of the state-of-the-art LM-based BA) on a distributed computing system.

Fine-grained, bimanual dexterous manipulation remains a foundational challenge in robotics. Traditional teleoperation systems often fail in contact-rich tasks because embodiment gaps hinder accurate kinematic mapping, while tactile and force feedback remain absent. Consequently, data collection efficiency for high-precision tasks remains prohibitively low. To address these limitations, we propose a tactile-driven adaptation strategy designed to enable fine-grained manipulation on top of teleoperation pipelines. Instantiated within our bimanual dexterous framework, DexTeleop-0, this strategy introduces a real-time optimization loop that bridges the embodiment gap by translating coarse human tracking intents into precise, force-compliant robotic commands with tactile sensing. By estimating accurate contact points and leveraging a tactile-enabled fingertip force-sensing profile, the system dynamically computes localized corrections using the operational space Jacobian with respect to joint angle updates. We rigorously evaluate this tactile-driven adaptation strategy across both simulated environments and real-world hardware. Compared with representative baselines, the proposed method consistently achieves higher task success rates and improved execution efficiency in robust grasping, disturbance-resilient manipulation, and complex dexterous tasks.
