Generalist manipulation and dexterous grasping

Robots feel their way through tight fits when position alone won't work.

Vision-language robots fail on unseen scenes in three distinct, fixable ways.

Five gripper types match different materials; picking one for all will fail.

Coordinated dual-arm systems replace costly fixturing by having one arm hold while the other works.

Soft grippers outperform better algorithms at handling fabric and deformable objects.

The gap between lab demos and factory floors shapes every decision on which model to pick.
