Jeff Bezos tries the Tactile Telerobot. The Tactile Telerobot is a haptic telerobotic system capable of transmitting realistic touch feedback to an operator located anywhere in the world. Developed through a joint collaboration between Shadow Robot Company, HaptX, and SynTouch, the project’s initial research and development was funded by All Nippon Airways. -- Robotics teams are challenged to turn human-like dexterity from theory into real-world systems. While dexterous manipulation promises major impact across industries, a gap remains between capability and deployment. Shadow Robot helps close this gap through a dexterity-first, structured engagement model that transforms ideas into prototypes and scalable solutions. The "Trusted Hands: Engineering Collaboration with Shadow Robot" whitepaper highlights how collaboration and repeatable frameworks enable organizations to overcome barriers and advance dexterous robotics in new domains.

VLAI Robotics Launches High-Dexterity Dual-Arm Robot Starting at ~$5,500 USD VLAI Robotics, utilizing the open-source design of Japan’s OpenArm team, has introduced a high-dexterity, low-cost bimanual robotic system. The product is priced from 39,900 RMB (approximately 5,500 USD), making high-level research tools accessible to institutions and developers. The robot features a human-scale, arm-hand integrated design with up to 16 DOF (8 DOF per arm, including the gripper). It can handle a dual-arm peak payload of 12 kg while maintaining high precision. A key breakthrough is its ability to replicate human upper limb movement trajectories, which enhances data quality for imitation learning and remote operation. VLAI Robotics handled the domestic engineering, manufacturing, and VLA (Vision-Language-Action) algorithm integration, with quality control organized according to the strict standards of the OpenArm R&D framework. The robot is highly adaptable for research, education, and Physical AI training, supporting easy expansion for features like VR teleoperation.

🇨🇳 NO DIVER? NO PROBLEM. THIS AI ROBOT OWNS THE OCEAN FLOOR China’s new underwater robot looks like a banana but moves like a sea ninja, sliding in every direction with AI-powered eyes. It can dive 400 meters, cover a full kilometer, and just sit there... watching... for hours. Designed for jobs like inspecting underwater pipes or offshore rigs, it does what human divers can't: stay safe, sharp, and not need a sandwich break. Source: CGTN

NAVIAI-I3, a more robust humanoid robot, was launched by the Zhejiang Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center. Standing 1.8 meters tall, it can run like a human and walk on various terrains. This humanoid robot appears to be primarily designed for specialized industrial tasks, such as security patrols in underground parking lots. They previously launched the lightweight bipedal NVAI-2 and a wheeled humanoid robot. The bipedal robot is used in manufacturing operations, while the wheeled humanoid robot is used for unstructured, flexible tasks such as warehouse sorting, supermarket shelving, and office cleaning. We filmed this demonstration at the World Robot Conference; you can see it in the comments section.

Robotics just hit a dexterity milestone 🤯! Sharpa Robotics demonstrated autonomous dual-hand apple peeling using its new MoDE-VLA system. Using human-like dexterous hands with tactile sensing, the robot can feel contact and adjust its grip while rotating and peeling the apple. While the system achieved 30% success, the 73% peel completion rate shows robots are starting to master the fine, contact-rich manipulation needed for real world tasks.
