This is huge news for dexterity manipulation, sometimes it takes thinking outside the box to come to the conclusion that actually maybe a turtle hand is enough, 3 fingers not 5.
Also impressive that no training was done on robot, but rather a co-designed wearable for data collection with a human.
In the next 12-24 months we will see an ever accelerating arena for robotics, not just humanoids, but every single vertical within the field.
This is truly a pivotal moment in time, and we are just getting started.
