@tonyzzhao Congrats to the Sunday team!

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

@xu545302 Great piece. Thank you for writing this.

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

@SourishJasti @ZoeyTang_1007 @intelchentwo @vishnuman0 Well done 🤌

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

Agree shear, incipient slip, etc. has value. Our scalar sensor version is featured here but we add another modality to detect shear etc in our vector version--happy to show you a live demo 😇. For a lot of use cases today, people seem to only just be getting started with the simple 2D (or in our case 3D) taxel grids. Many modalities claiming to do shear are also just inferring this via some surface behavior on the taxel grid which is fine but not exactly shear.

@chris_j_paxton This really is incredible. Curious what are you looking to see before touch sensors are fully mature? Not that I disagree with anything you said 😇

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

@GoingBallistic5 An honor to tape for the great botangelist 😇 arms got real tired but worth it 🦾

Maybe @sensiblerobotx next? 😉

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

@lukas_m_ziegler @sensiblerobotx hiding in the crowd 😁

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

@lukas_m_ziegler Thanks for posting Lukas! We’re just getting started @sensiblerobotx 😊

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

Love to see this, appreciate the shout out!

Feeling what a robot feels is becoming real! 🫰

Fluid Reality just ran its first full end-to-end touch teleoperation system, and the demo shows why high-resolution haptics might be the missing piece in robot control.

A 22 mm fingertip display with 32 independently actuated “bubbles” was mapped directly to tactile sensors on a robot hand. 🫧

Three fingers streamed real-time touch data robot → human, giving the operator actual contact feedback instead of waving their hands blind, like most teleop systems today.

It’s still early, but this is a real step toward dexterous ops and high-quality data for training Physical AI systems.

Companies involved: Samsung Electronics, Alt-Bionics, Inc. (the robot hand), MANUS™ (hand tracking), and Sensible Robotics (fingertip sensors)

Touch isn’t a nice-to-have in robotics.

It’s the difference between manipulation that works in the real world

P.S. Guess how many touch receptors we humans, have in our hand! :)

@tanmayxagarwal @chris_j_paxton Congrats Tanmay! Hoping to come visit you soon 😊

[MANUS™ @ManusMeta]

Dexterous manipulation is moving fast, and we are excited to be part of that momentum!

Meet the MANUS team together with @AltBionics at the @HumanoidsSummit in Silicon Valley on December 11th and 12th.

Come say hi and see what we have been building. #humanoidssummit

One of many great parts of this interview—their determination comes through in this story. A lot of launch interviews are fluffy but this was both thoughtful and endearing. Congrats on a really well executed launch week capped off by this episode. Congrats to @saranormous too!

[No Priors @NoPriorsPod]

.@chichengcc on the founding insight around data collection at @sundayrobotics

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

@JayLiStanford Great paper, hadn’t seen this. Sounds like the tactile sensing is embedded in the glove on robot side too?

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

@conhugh We're here to help 😇🤌

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

So good. The skill capture glove is key part of the sauce 🧑‍🍳

[Tony Zhao @tonyzzhao]

Today, we present a step-change in robotic AI @sundayrobotics.

Introducing ACT-1: A frontier robot foundation model trained on zero robot data.

- Ultra long-horizon tasks
- Zero-shot generalization
- Advanced dexterity

@tonyzzhao @sundayrobotics Congrats all, this is incredible!

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

This is super impressive. Grasping some objects where force / tactile feedback is playing a big part: curtains, empty paper bag, stuffed toys...well done.

[CyberRobo @CyberRobooo]

Home humanoid robots are getting closer.

Shenzhen MindOne Robotics is testing their robot brain on the Unitree G1, and it looks like the G1 has already learned to do human-like household chores.
Watering plants, moving packages, cleaning mattresses, tidying up, etc.

Honestly, wanna bue one.

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

@chris_j_paxton Wow this is impressive. I'm sure no accident they also show a lot of grasping of soft / compliant objects.

[Toshi Quides @twquides]

Helpful framing of dexterity challenges.

Generally enjoying this new series, fun convos with a mix of robotics OGs and newer players.

🎨🤖 Can robots be creative?

Ken Goldberg from @UCBerkeley used to say no. Then he saw AI systems creating images that even surprised him.

If creativity is the ability to surprise, maybe machines are already there.
