From Demo to Deployment, Where Robotics Actually Fails
We’ve made remarkable progress in vision, but for true autonomy in unstructured worlds, the big gap is tactile intelligence. A robot can’t just see; it has to 'feel' pressure and tension to handle objects reliably, whether that’s a harvest arm or a medical device.
