All these bots are taking such “baby steps”. But really babies are bolder in their steps. Watching them inch around it feels like these bots are being held back in their stride. Like they need to risk a fall and actually try a full step. Otherwise just put ‘em on wheels.

Why is the design of robots going that way then they have to look like humans Isn't it more practical to look like that to be more functional even better than human capabilities

Scaling vision-language-action (VLA) models to high-DoF dexterous hands has long been a "holy grail" challenge due to the high-dimensional action space and data scarcity. As a wrap up of the year 2025, we are releasing GR-Dexter, a holistic hardware-model-data framework for generalist manipulation on a bimanual dexterous-hand robot. This is the first VLA system to achieve: ✅ High-DoF Control: Managing a 56-DoF bimanual system (21-DoF per hand). ✅ Long-Horizon Tasks with tool use: Vacuuming, bread serving with tongs, and table decluttering. ✅ Open-World Generalization: Robust performance with unseen objects and abstract instructions.

Dexterous hands are one of the biggest challenges in robotics, with even Elon Musk noting their development accounts for half of a humanoid robot's total work. A new approach from the Y-Hand M1 bionic hand may be a significant step forward. Based on an international first-of-its-kind "bionic tension-compression theory," the M1 replaces traditional rigid hinges with a 6-DoF joint system and uses self-developed magnetic artificial muscles. This design allows it to perform complex, human-like tasks, including: ► Mastering all 33 Feix dexterous grasp categories. ► Precisely twirling playing cards and threading a needle with subtle human-like adjustments. ► Smoothly twisting bottle caps and turning book pages. The team behind the M1 is already working on the next-gen Y-Hand M3, aiming for around 70 degrees of freedom, believing that robotic hands may soon reach or even exceed human-level dexterity.

We trained a humanoid with 22-DoF dexterous hands to assemble model cars, operate syringes, sort poker cards, fold/roll shirts, all learned primarily from 20,000+ hours of egocentric human video with no robot in the loop. Humans are the most scalable embodiment on the planet. We discovered a near-perfect log-linear scaling law (R² = 0.998) between human video volume and action prediction loss, and this loss directly predicts real-robot success rate. Humanoid robots will be the end game, because they are the practical form factor with minimal embodiment gap from humans. Call it the Bitter Lesson of robot hardware: the kinematic similarity lets us simply retarget human finger motion onto dexterous robot hand joints. No learned embeddings, no fancy transfer algorithms needed. Relative wrist motion + retargeted 22-DoF finger actions serve as a unified action space that carries through from pre-training to robot execution. Our recipe is called "EgoScale": - Pre-train GR00T N1.5 on 20K hours of human video, mid-train with only 4 hours (!) of robot play data with Sharpa hands. 54% gains over training from scratch across 5 highly dexterous tasks. - Most surprising result: a *single* teleop demo is sufficient to learn a never-before-seen task. Our recipe enables extreme data efficiency. - Although we pre-train in 22-DoF hand joint space, the policy transfers to a Unitree G1 with 7-DoF tri-finger hands. 30%+ gains over training on G1 data alone. The scalable path to robot dexterity was never more robots. It was always us. Deep dives in thread:

This perspective will be more intuitive. Fourier is building a data acquisition and training platform that integrates non-invasive brain-computer interfaces and humanoid robots. This wealth of data will enhance the intelligence level of GR-3. The goal is for GR-3 to accurately identify the brain intention signals of stroke patients during future rehabilitation training and respond in real time to guide patients in performing rehabilitation movements. For example, lifting the left hand, picking up a block from the table, etc. Of course, GR-3 can also become a life assistant controlled by a human BCI. Imagine that people with mobility impairments could also issue commands to GR-3 via BCI to open the refrigerator and get a drink.

This is just crazy! Clone just introduced the Torso 2, a groundbreaking android that sets a new standard for robotics. This advanced prototype features 910 artificial muscle fibers, 164 degrees of freedom, and 182 sensors for precise feedback control, enabling fluid, human-like movement. With an actuated lumbar spine and a full set of abdominal muscles, Torso 2’s design mimics human anatomy for unprecedented natural motion. Encased in a sleek, white transparent skin, the Torso 2 utilizes pneumatic actuation to animate its muscles, though current off-the-shelf valves create some noise due to air exhaust. Clone plans to return to a quieter hydraulic design with custom liquid valves for future bipedal robots. The current temporary opaque visor will also be replaced with a one-way mirror for a more polished look. The Torso 2 demonstrates Clone’s hardware potential, running hand-coded sequences to control each muscle. With the promise of legs arriving soon, Clone Robotics is inching closer to creating silent, fully humanoid androids—marking a major leap toward lifelike robotic functionality.

Shanghai MATRIX ROBOTICS has released a video of its new generation general-purpose humanoid robot: MATRIX-3. Much more compact than the first generation, without a protruding "rear end," it features an impressive futuristic design, 27-DOF dexterous hand with tendon-driven joints, 3D soft fabric bionic skin (claimed to have tactile sensing), and incorporates a new neural network that allows for zero-shot learning, enabling it to perform tasks in complex environments. It is planned for use in general scenarios such as manufacturing plants, logistics warehouses, and retail supermarkets. However, this is currently just a video, and its actual performance remains to be seen, especially the rapid, sensitive, and free movements of the hands as shown in the video: this would truly be a huge breakthrough.
