There’s still a fair amount of CGI in the video, but at least part of it is backed by real demos.

Looks straight out of a sci-fi movie 🤩 The quick-release modules are the real highlight here, way more practical than a fixed setup.

Data glove economics finally hit an inflection point. CyberGlove III shipped at $18K with 22 sensors, Meta Manus Prime at $5K with 15. Modular tactile at 1000+ points sits closer to $2K when scaled. VLA training bottleneck was never algorithms - it was per-demo capture cost.

What if a dexterous robot could learn a 20+ step chemistry experiment without a single on-robot training demo? Meet TwinDEX: a pair of co-designed, three-finger, nine-DoF dexterous manipulation interface: one wearable for data collection, one for robot deployment. The twinned design shares identical kinematics, contact surfaces, visual appearance, and sensors across collection and deployment — keeping observations and actions aligned end to end. Trained from scratch on only a few hundred wearable demonstrations - with zero on-robot training or intervention data - TwinDEX completed a standardized chemistry experiment involving tool switches, fine force control, and bimanual coordination. Robot-free data showed comparable learning efficiency on the multi-task evaluation, TwinDEX delivered 5.3 times effective throughput than on-robot teleoperation. TwinDEX demonstrates that high-quality robot-free data can fully substitute for on-robot teleoperation data on challenging dexterous tasks — removing the dependency on real-robot hardware that has been the central bottleneck to scaling dexterous manipulation data. This was the proof-it phase. Now comes scale: what emerges at tens of thousands, or millions, of episodes?

A lot of robot learning pipelines treat embodiment mismatch as a software problem. Collect data with one device, retarget the motion to another robot, and try to deal with the differences later. TwinDEX flips that idea around. This system is from a Chinese robotics company called X Square. Instead of starting with a generic data-collection device, the team co-designs a wearable three-finger end-effector and a robotic hand as two sides of the same learning system. They align the things that actually matter during manipulation: joint structure, link proportions, contact geometry, surface properties, visual appearance, sensing, and timing. That matters because dexterous manipulation is much more than matching hand poses. A few millimeters of contact error or a different force relationship can completely change how a task is executed. In the collection evaluation, TwinDEX delivered up to 5.3 times the effective throughput of on-robot teleoperation. It’s a useful reminder that scaling robot learning may not only be about bigger models and more data. Sometimes the hardware collecting the data is part of the data problem itself.

X Square Robot has introduced TwinDEX: a co-designed pair of three-finger, 9-DoF dexterous hands, one wearable for data collection, one matched robot end effector for deployment. The wearable and the robot hand share the same kinematics, geometry, materials, look, and sensors, so human demos map straight to the robot without retargeting. Human data collection improves throughput 5.3x compared to teleoperation, and a policy can be trained with a few hundred episodes without any robot data.

A robot performing a chemistry experiment might not sound that surprising. What’s interesting about this demo is how the robot was trained. Chinese embodied AI startup X Square Robot's TwinDEX uses a wearable three-finger end-effector to collect demonstrations from a human, rather than requiring the robot to be teleoperated during data collection. The resulting policy handles a 20+ step chemistry workflow: opening reagent bottles, scooping material, operating a pipette, transferring liquids, handling a glass rod, pouring, and coordinating both hands throughout the process. These are very different from simple pick-and-place tasks. There are continuous contacts, tool use, changing grasps, precise positioning, force control, and long-horizon state transitions. The reported experiments used robot-free demonstrations only, with zero on-robot teleoperation data for training. The bigger idea here is that if the data-collection hardware and deployment hardware are designed to be sufficiently consistent, robot-free demonstrations can still retain the information needed for real dexterous manipulation.

We might be solving the wrong problem in robotics. That’s what this makes clear. UMI → Universal Manipulation Interface A simple $400 gripper that lets you teach robots by demonstration. You hold it like a tool. Show the task. The robot learns. No teleoperation. No expensive hardware. No robot-specific data. Stanford open-sourced everything → hardware, code, datasets. What stands out to me is the bottleneck. Not algorithms. Data. Teleoperation → ~35 demos/hour UMI → ~111 demos/hour And the data transfers across robots → UR5, Franka, others. The design is surprisingly practical: → GoPro fisheye lens (155° FOV) + mirrors for depth → SLAM + IMU for precise 6DoF tracking → latency matching for dynamic tasks → diffusion policies for multimodal actions Then it scales. Cheng Chi takes this further with Sunday Robotics (with Tony Zhao). A $200 glove → deployed in 500+ homes → ~10 million real-world interactions. Not lab data. Real human behavior. Their robot learns dishes, laundry, espresso → with zero robot-specific data. This is where the shift becomes obvious. From training robots in controlled environments → to learning directly from humans at scale So here’s the real question: Will robotics be unlocked by better models… or by unlocking data? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #AI #Innovation #FutureOfWork

So I heard we need more data for robot learning :) Purely real world teleop is expensive and slow, making large scale data collection challenging. I’ve been excited about getting more data into robot learning, going beyond just real-world teleop data. To this end, we’ve been scaling up data generation with RL in realistic simulations generated on the fly from crowdsourced videos. Enables realistic data collection, much more cheaply than purely real world teleop. Importantly, data collection becomes even*cheaper* with more environments, allowing training with over 100x more data. Transfers to real robots for generalizable manipulation. A 🧵 (1/N)

We have plenty of human demonstration data for movement. We don’t have enough for touch. Without tactile feedback, foundation models can’t feel if an object is slipping, soft, or fragile during complex manipulation. Matrix Inno is bringing three data-collection gloves to IROS 2026: the RigidCore Tactile+EMF, the Fabric Tactile + EMF, and the Fabric Tactile + UltraLite Motion Glove. The hardware tracks pressure and hand pose simultaneously during human demos, mapping exactly where contact happens and how it shifts in real time. Wearables like this are how we finally get real, continuous contact data at scale. Source: Matrix Inno MX MATRIX

Impressive on every dimension! Genesis AI has announced GENE-26.5, its first robotic foundation model, aimed at achieving human-level dexterous manipulation: - Single model, shared weights, handles egg cracking, lab pipetting, bimanual Rubik's Cube, smoothie making, and wire harnessing. Most tasks: under 1 hour of task-specific data, 1x real-world speed. - Genesis Hand 1.0: human-size, 20 active DoF, soft-contact skin. Paired glove gives a 1:1:1 mapping (glove, human hand, robot hand). 100x cheaper than teleop, 5x more data-efficient internally. - Data engine pulls from three sources: glove data, egocentric (head-cam) video, and large-scale internet video. The 1:1 hand-to-human match closes the embodiment gap, letting Genesis use video data more effectively than rivals. - Flow matching across vision, tactile, proprioception, and language inputs. Per Genesis, scaling data and compute directly improves zero-shot

I was really impressed by the UMI gripper (Cheng Chi et al.), but a key limitation is that **force-related data wasn’t captured**: humans feel haptic feedback through the mechanical springs, but the robot couldn’t leverage that info, limiting the data’s value for fine-grained manipulation tasks. Led by my amazing students Yolanda Zhu and Binghao Huang, we designed a **portable visuo-tactile gripper** by integrating our dense, flexible tactile arrays with the UMI gripper to enable large-scale in-the-wild data collection. 🔗 We demonstrate **cross-modal representation learning** and **downstream policy learning** on tasks requiring in-hand state estimation (e.g., test tube reorientation) and fine-grained force sensing (e.g., pipette fluid transfer). Key takeaways: - Our flexible tactile arrays store the rich haptic information humans perceive as dense tactile signals. - Portability and robustness are key for in-the-wild data collection; our portable gripper is compact, lightweight, and durable. - Touch provides precise, robust measurements of in-hand object pose, invariant to lighting and viewpoint. - Cross-modal pretraining on large-scale in-the-wild data significantly improves policy robustness and sample efficiency (as shown many times before — and verified again here!). Also check out our previous investigations of dense, flexible tactile grids for understanding human-robot-environment interactions: - Dense tactile glove (Nature ’19): - 3D-ViTac (CoRL ’24):
