Why building a human-like robotic hand is so incredibly difficult
SMRTR summary
Robotic hands are one of the hardest engineering challenges because household tasks involve constant uncertainty, unlike a backflip, which follows a predictable sequence. Robots must sense pressure, detect slipping, and adjust grip in real time, but tactile datasets remain tiny, leaving fine manipulation unsolved despite rapid progress in humanoid mobility.
