10 communication links you'll often find in robots and what each one does: • EtherCAT: Servo drives. Real-time communication with precise timing across multiple drives. • RS-485: Joint motors. A noise-resistant differential interface.…

You can build a dexterous robotic hand for just $314. Prefer it ready to use? The fully assembled version costs about $720. Chestnut Robotics' Aero Hand Open weighs 389 g and has 7 active degrees of freedom across 16 joints, 3 of them in…

My biggest takeaway from IROS was about hands and dexterity. It used to be so hard to do meaningful work with hands -- and it's still hard, these systems are fragile and expensive, but it's so, so much easier. Human-level dexterity for…

Dexterity is the frontier for robotics today Great writeup by @chris_j_paxton - that was my main takeaway from IROS as well https://t.co/dvt1X3b7QI

Some thoughts on a robotics conference: the research community increasingly is looking at enabling contact-rich manipulation with dexterous hands, and has the tools to do so https://t.co/zZhiEHLX49

UMI, but for humanoid hands. UMI-style capture already works great for simple grippers. For a high-DOF hand, where the action space is huge and contact force carries the important signal, matching the data collector to the hand matters…
