contents While Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated promising generalization capabilities in robotic manipulation, deploying them on specific and complex downstream tasks still demands effective post-training. In parallel, Human-in-the-Loop (HiL) learning has proven to be a powerful mechanism for refining robot policies. However, extending this paradigm to dexterous manipulation remains challenging: multi-finger control is high-dimensional, contact-intensive, and exhibits execution distributions that differ markedly from standard arm motions, leaving existing dexterous VLA systems limited in reliability and adaptability. We present DexHiL, the first integrated arm-hand human-in-the-loop framework for dexterous VLA models, enabling coordinated interventions over the arm and the dexterous hand within a single system. DexHiL introduces an intervention-aware data sampling strategy that prioritizes corrective segments for post-training, alongside a lightweight teleoperation interface that supports instantaneous human corrections during execution. Real-robot experiments demonstrate that DexHiL serves as an effective post-training framework, yielding a substantial performance leap, outperforming standard offline-only fine-tuning baselines by an average of 25% in success rates across distinct tasks.
