Sanctuary AI has demonstrated successful zero-shot transfer for in-hand manipulation, allowing a policy trained entirely in simulation to reorient objects on physical hardware without real-world fine-tuning.

Following a successful pilot in its EV factory, Xiaomi has completely redesigned its humanoid hand, introducing a 1:1 human form factor, 150,000-cycle durability, and an evaporative liquid-cooling system to manage motor heat.

Following their viral "nut-spinning" demo, Kyber Labs has showcased a robotic hand performing complex wet lab tasks, signaling a shift toward deterministic, "primitive-based" AI for high-stakes laboratory automation.

MIT engineers have developed a wearable ultrasound wristband that tracks hand movements by imaging internal muscle and tendon activity, offering a potential solution to the data bottlenecks currently facing humanoid teleoperation.

PSYONIC’s Ability Hand has become a native asset in NVIDIA Isaac Lab, introducing a "real-to-real" transfer pipeline that uses human-driven data to train dexterous robotic manipulation.
