1X has developed new 25-DoF robotic hands for its NEO humanoid platform, achieving human-level dexterity, tactile sensing, and durability for real-world manipulation tasks.
MIT researchers developed a wristband with ultrasound stickers that images muscles and tendons, using AI to translate those images into hand movements to wirelessly control a robotic hand with high dexterity.
AGIBOT's humanoid robot flawlessly made a drink, showcasing precise manipulation. The three-year-old company has shipped 5,000 robots this quarter, focusing on perfecting movements before speed.
A proposed benchmark suggests that when robots can economically manufacture clothing, they will be capable of replacing all human labor, as textile work requires high dexterity and low cost.
Google DeepMind introduces Gemini Robotics On-Device, an efficient VLA model optimized to run locally on robotic devices, enabling low-latency operation and offline capability while maintaining strong dexterous manipulation and task generalization. The model can be fine-tuned with as few as 50-100 demonstrations and comes with an SDK for developers.
OpenAI announces Dactyl, a system that learns robotic hand dexterity through simulation and reinforcement learning, using LSTMs to generalize across different physical environments and the Rapid PPO implementation to train policies that transfer to real-world manipulation tasks.
