Figure의 CEO Brett Adcock가 차세대 휴머노이드 로봇 손이 양말을 서로 접어 넣을 수 있을 정도의 정교한 조작 능력을 갖게 될 것이라고 설명했다. 이는 Figure 04의 손가락 자유도와 dexterity가 크게 향상될 것임을 시사한다.

로봇 손이 악보를 보고 피아노를 연주하는 영상이 소개됐다. 사람들은 로봇 손의 정교한 손재주 문제(dexterity problem)가 예상보다 빠르게 해결되고 있다고 평가하며, 로봇 조작 능력 발전의 진전을 보여주는 사례로 주목했다.

Sanctuary AI가 유압식 로봇 손으로 큐브를 목표 위치로 10번 연속 재배치하는 인핸드 매니퓰레이션을 시연했다. 실세계 학습 없이, 리셋이나 사람 개입 없이 동작한 제로샷 손재주 기술의 진전으로 매우 주목된다.

Weekly output: Most Innovative Companies, Serve Robotics, Android 17, United Airlines’ ambitions, Polymarket’s pop-up bar

CHICAGO–This is one of my favorite cities in the U.S., but it doesn’t show up in my work travel as often as I’d like. So I’m delighted that the Online News Association decided to move its annual conference from late summer to early spring and then stage this year’s event here–in a hotel that should be familiar to everybody who’s seen The Fugitive.

Patreon readers got a bonus post that I’d meant to have written weeks earlier: a recap of MWC Barcelona in which I also gave away a global eSIM to the first reader to ask for it.

3/24/2026: The most innovative robotics and engineering companies of 2026, Fast Company

This list, the product of months of research and editorial back-and-forth, finally emerged online this week. And then we had to run a quick correction after one of the companies honored said that we’d mentioned an achievement that they did not want disclosed.

3/25/2026: Delivery Robots Have a Mapping Problem, PCMag

I sat down in a hotel lobby in Austin during SXSW with MJ Burk Chun, co-founder and vice president of product and design at Serve Robotics, to talk about the issues that company is working to address as it tries to scale up having four-wheeled robots cart food deliveries to customers.

3/27/2026: Google Ships Latest Android 17 Beta. Here’s What’s New, PCMag

In between having so many longer stories to write, I was happy to get one that I could bang out in an hour or so.

3/28/2026: United’s New Upgrades Aim to Keep You Online and Fully Charged at 35,000 Feet, PCMag

My week started with me flying to another one of United’s hubs–with the airline covering my airfare and lodging–for its United Elevated event at LAX. In addition to looping me into UA’s ambitions for its onboard product, this event doubled as a reunion with some of the avgeek journalists I met at Cranky Dorkfest in September and with my former Washington Post colleague Lori Aratani, who interviewed United CEO Scott Kirby onstage Tuesday morning.

3/29/2026: Pints meet prop bets: Polymarket’s “Situation Room” pop-up bar in DC, Ars Technica

I thought I saw an opportunity to write for this occasional client for the first time since the summer of 2023; fortunately, my editor then and now agreed.

Orca Hand(@orcahand)이 촉각/지문형 팁 센서를 갖춘 오픈소스 다(다관절)형 로봇 손 모델 3종을 공개했다. 저비용 하드웨어와 로우레벨 제어부터 로봇 애플리케이션을 위한 소프트웨어 계층까지 공유해 로봇 손의 정교한 조작 능력(dexterity)을 대중화(democratize)하려는 목표를 제시한 발표이다.
