We can see a pair of extensor tendons in the new 1X Neo Gamma humanoid. Likely loops back to form pair of flexors underneath. When tension is equal, finger extension/flexion. When differential, finger ab/adduction. Pairing doubles grip strength. Fewer actuators, too.

Figure AI must be well capitalized if they can afford eggs for a demonstration. And from Whole Foods of all places.

The choice of the word Doge was not accidental. It comes from Latin and is Venetian for Duke. The Doge of Venice acted as both the head of state and head of the Venetian oligarchy.

This is an EXCELLENT breakdown of why Figure is working with Amazon (speculation). It makes perfect sense and aligns with my thinking--but using a much more detailed analysis of the opportunity.

The Bot of Theseus Read a paper about actuator design. It conjectures to get torque transparency and low reflected inertia, bot vendors might be sacrificing lifetime for performance. Which begs the question: If I replace my bot's actuators every few weeks, after a year is it still the same bot?

Clone or innovative? You'll be surprised. Not what you eXPENGted. IRONically, a little of both, with a novel approach to the hip design: a new twist on abduction. Warning: for kinematics junkies only. youtu.be/e8q6vCA96fA?...
