HANDS

Observing and Acting as Dexterous Hands
in conjunction with ECCV 2026


Overview

Welcome to our DexHAND@ECCV26.

We are very happy to organize DexHAND workshop. This year's workshop will be held at ECCV26. See you in Malmö, Sweden.

During this workshop, we will focus on hands—including visual hands (e.g., hand perception, pose estimation) and dexterous hands (e.g., robotic manipulation, control), with a special focus on how visual hands enable and enhance fine-grained dexterous hand control, action, and manipulation . Specifically, vision could provide the essential perception capabilities by observing, and enable learning by mimicking human hands for accurate dexterous hand acting with objects. Observing and acting as dexterous hands could drive innovation in real-time perception, 3D vision, video analysis, and embodied AI, establishing dexterous hand manipulation as a key domain for testing and generalizing computer vision technologies. We will explore hands in the context of VLA models and world models through the talks of invited speakers, the presentation of accepted papers, and workshop challenges.

During the workshop, we will explore multimodal LLMs for hand-related tasks through the talks of invited speakers, the presentation of accepted papers, and workshop challenges.
