What Hacker News says?
Like said by others, the sensor problem is a real one, and personally I don't see a robotic hand matching the dexterity of a human one, within a viable economic cost and sufficient robustness, before a long time (but I could be wrong ). But for the part that concern physical understanding of the world, adaptability, and basic manipulation, it feels like the field is going through a break through. The implication mig…
