Dexterous manipulation requires planning a grasp configuration suited to the object and task, which is then executed through coordinated multi-finger control. However, specifying grasp plans with dense pose or contact targets for every object and task is impractical. Meanwhile, end-to-end reinforcement learning from task rewards alone lacks controllability, making it difficult for users to intervene when failures occur. To this end, we present GRIT, a two-stage framework that learns dexterous control from sparse taxonomy guidance. GRIT first predicts a taxonomy-based grasp specification from the scene and task context. Conditioned on this sparse command, a policy generates continuous finger motions that accomplish the task while preserving the intended grasp structure. Our result shows that certain grasp taxonomies are more effective for specific object geometries. By leveraging this relationship, GRIT improves generalization to novel objects over baselines and achieves an overall success rate of 87.9%. Moreover, real-world experiments demonstrate controllability, enabling grasp strategies to be adjusted through high-level taxonomy selection based on object geometry and task intent.

Behavior cloning methods for robot learning suffer from poor generalization due to limited data support beyond expert demonstrations. Recent approaches leveraging video prediction models have shown promising results by learning rich spatiotemporal representations from large-scale datasets. However, these models learn action-agnostic dynamics that cannot distinguish between different control inputs, limiting their utility for precise manipulation tasks and requiring large pretraining datasets. We propose a Dynamics-Aligned Flow Matching Policy (DAP) that integrates dynamics prediction into policy learning. Our method introduces a novel architecture where policy and dynamics models provide mutual corrective feedback during action generation, enabling self-correction and improved generalization. Empirical validation demonstrates generalization performance superior to baseline methods on real-world robotic manipulation tasks, showing particular robustness in OOD scenarios including visual distractions and lighting variations.
