.@adcock_brett explains why @Figure_robot pivoted away from designing their humanoid robot's hands after human hands:
"This is extremely important. If we want to solve AGI and get to human intelligence in the physical world—it's all going to start with the hands."
"Our first-generation hand is a tendon-driven hand."
"The rationale here is that a human hand is like this: most of our motors are in our forearm and little tendons drive all the fingers."
"It ended up becoming the wrong engineering choice."
"We recently unveiled our high degree of freedom, next-generation hand a month ago. This hand has human-level dexterity, as many joints in the hand as a human."
Welcome to Robot Park, where we’re building the future with Apollo 2. Robot Park is where Apollo learns today, getting the experience needed to make a difference tomorrow.

@ChinaSelect@amazon@RepMoolenaar Mostly because of video data collection or hacking that could happen. As of now video data collection is a big threat at it is essentially a walking camera. The hacking threat is less of a problem now since they aren't very capable, but when they do become capable 🫤 not good.
@ChinaSelect@amazon@RepMoolenaar They are illegal to government officials to use, not the public. Although does Ronomics believe that these are possible threats to national security? Yes. Wish they weren't but that's current sentiment.
If you've ever worked on your feet all day, you know how important a good pair of shoes is. Mechanical design engineer Chastity Kelly shares how we built Atlas functional feet.

NVIDIA announces the first open humanoid robot reference design built for robotics research.
The NVIDIA Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot combines the @UnitreeRobotics H2 humanoid robot, @SharpaRobotics Wave five-fingered hands for dexterous manipulation, Jetson Thor onboard compute, and Isaac GR00T open software and models, giving researchers a full-stack platform from data capture to model deployment.
