artificial intelligence by publicly showing a humanoid robot doing hand
embroidery at a live event. </div><div><div class="gmail-t-mt-6 gmail-md:t-mt-8"><div class="gmail-t-grid gmail-t-grid-cols-1 gmail-md:t-grid-cols-12 gmail-md:t-items-stretch gmail-t-gap-6 gmail-md:t-gap-8"><div class="gmail-md:t-col-span-7 gmail-t-min-w-0"><div class="gmail-t-space-y-6"><div class="gmail-body-content gmail-t-space-y-4 gmail-t-text-gray-900 gmail-dark:t-text-[#F5F6F7] gmail-t-font-georgia gmail-t-font-normal gmail-t-text-[18px] gmail-md:t-text-[20px] gmail-t-leading-8 gmail-t-break-words">
<p>The robot used both hands to thread a needle and stitch a logo, handling a task that demands high precision and steady control.</p>
<p>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<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">.</span></p><p><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">---------------------------</span></p><p><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">BillK</span></p></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div>
