"Meta's new robotic fingertips can feel the lightest touch. Their testing system puts robots through everyday tasks in virtual homes with thousands of items."

"HPT unifies 200,000+ robot trajectories across 52 datasets, processing vision and proprioception inputs equally, improving performance by 20% in real tests"

King's College engineers create fluid-based circuits to control robots without electricity, freeing up 'brain' space for advanced thinking.

MIT's Clio enables robots to map scenes and identify task-relevant objects using natural language prompts, combining computer vision, language models, and mapping tools.

HEXEL modules combine soft and rigid components, enabling rapid reconfiguration. Magnets allow quick connections, adapting robots for various tasks and environments.

Cornell's sub-millimeter robots use kirigami to morph from 2D to 3D. 100 panels with 200 nanoscale hinges allow 40% size change via electrical stimulation.
