[ExI] Hand Dexterity? - Robots can do embroidery now

Video: China’s humanoid robot achieves world’s first two-handed stitching
feat
The breakthrough relies on TARS’s DATA AI PHYSICS approach, combining
real-world data, embodied AI, and robots with minimal digital-to-physical
gap.

Quote:
On December 22, China’s TARS Robotics reached a milestone in embodied
artificial intelligence by publicly showing a humanoid robot doing hand
embroidery at a live event.

The robot used both hands to thread a needle and stitch a logo, handling a
task that demands high precision and steady control.

The demonstration showed the robot handling soft, flexible materials with
sub-millimeter accuracy. Until now, this type of long, delicate, and
coordinated manual work has been widely viewed as beyond the reach of
automation.
