| 11:15 PM ET | @smsehy | 11:15 PM ET@smsehy @smsehy on X Tactile dexterous hands provide high compliance, but deploying them into industrial assembly requires rigorous cycle testing to ensure flexible skin sensors and internal tendon cables survive harsh abrasive factory environments. https://t.co/WbWWApSM8A | |
| 11:10 PM ET | @smsehy | 11:10 PM ET@smsehy @smsehy on X The hand and forearm expose the real physical limits of miniature motor winding, high-ratio planetary gearing, and thermal dissipation inside a 25mm joint envelope. Volume manufacturing only works when those electromechanical modules survive millions of continuous cycles without manual shimming. | |

Sanctuary AI Co-Founder & Chief Engineering & Operations Officer Olivia Norton explains why touch and force feedback are critical for dexterous manipulation, especially when objects are occluded or outside a robot’s field of view.

Look, it's cool, I love it, I love the idea, & I think it'll find a niche. But HALF THE COMPLEXITY OF A ROBOT IS IN ITS HANDS. Hands are what gets the work done. Without great hands you don't have a great robot. https://t.co/eCTEaxKvhN | |
| 11:54 AM ET | XSX Square Robot | 11:54 AM ETXSX Square Robot @TheHumanoidHub on X X Square Robot has introduced TwinDEX: a co-designed pair of three-finger, 9-DoF dexterous hands, one wearable for data collection, one matched robot end effector for deployment. The wearable and the robot hand share the same kinematics, geometry, materials, look, and sensors, so human demos map straight to the robot without retargeting. Human data collection improves throughput 5.3x compared to teleoperation, and a policy can be trained with a few hundred episodes without any robot data. | |

| 9:54 AM ET | @altantutar | 9:54 AM ET@altantutar @altantutar on X It turns out removing arms & hands completely gets us closer to the GPT moment for robotics! Obviously, the tasks that you can teach to a microduck is limited. But, one can't be more excited about how this will change once we have hand dexterity close to or the same as human beings. | |

| 9:57 PM ET | @techniahqrobot | 9:57 PM ET@techniahqrobot @techniahqrobot on X This is what’s hiding inside the next generation of robotic hands. Compact frameless motors can be integrated directly into dexterous robotic hands to drive finger and joint movement while keeping the mechanism extremely compact. For humanoid robots, hand performance will depend heavily on this kind of engineering high torque, precise control and more actuators packed into very limited space. Walking gets most of the attention. But dexterous hands may decide how useful humanoid robots actually become. | |
| 3:04 PM ET | @TheSanctuaryAI | 3:04 PM ET@TheSanctuaryAI @TheSanctuaryAI on X Robots Doing Stuff #64 | Delicate Object Handling Will you find crackers and grapes on the production floor? Probably not. But what you will find are tasks that require the manipulation of delicate, irregular, and easily damaged objects. Brittle crackers and soft grapes provide a simple way to put those capabilities to the test. Handling objects like these requires precise force control and continuous adjustment. The hand must maintain a secure grasp without crushing, cracking, or dropping each object as it transfers it to the plate. It makes for a great demo… and a great snack. #Dexterity… | |

| 10:17 AM ET | MCMcKinsey | 10:17 AM ETMCMcKinsey @HumanoidAn on X The biggest opportunity in humanoid robotics may not be building the robot itself. It may be solving the bottlenecks every robot company faces: cheaper actuators, dexterous hands, better training data, safety systems, factory integration, and reliable fleet operations. In the race to build humanoids, the biggest winners could be the startups selling the picks and shovels. #HumanoidRobotics #PhysicalAI #RoboticsStartups #IndustrialAutomation #EmbodiedAI #Startups #Startup #Humanoid #Humanoids #Robotics #HumanoidAnalytics @McKinsey @NVIDIARobotics @BMWGroup @Figure_robot @NIST | |
