RLWRLD launches open platform to benchmark dexterous robotic hands

by

RLWRLD, a physical AI company with a proprietary robotics foundation model, RLDX-1, has announced the launch of “All Hands Up!”, an open web platform that provides technical reports and visualization tools based on the company’s firsthand experience operating a wide range of commercially available dexterous robot hands.

All Hands Up! is designed to analyze and share the real-world operating performance and design trade-offs of robotic hands that are difficult to assess through manufacturer specification sheets alone.

RLWRLD developed the platform based on operational data collected from real-world use, aiming to address a question repeatedly raised across research and industrial settings: “Which robotic hands perform effectively in real-world environments?” [Read more…] about RLWRLD launches open platform to benchmark dexterous robotic hands

Robotiq launches tactile sensor fingertips for adaptive gripper

by

Robotiq has launched its TSF-85 tactile sensor fingertips for the 2F-85 Adaptive Gripper, giving Physical AI systems the sense of touch needed for real-world manipulation.

With integrated tactile sensing, Robotiq enables robots to not only see the world, but to feel, understand, and reliably interact with it at scale. The Tactile Sensor Fingertips for the 2F-85 gripper are available now.

Robots cannot learn the physical world through vision alone. Real-world manipulation requires contact awareness, force control, and feedback from interaction. [Read more…] about Robotiq launches tactile sensor fingertips for adaptive gripper

XELA Robotics unlocks enhanced automation for humanoid and industrial robots

by

XELA Robotics presented its uSkin 3D tactile sensing technology at CES 2026, showing how advanced touch sensing can improve manipulation and automation in humanoid and industrial robots.

The Tokyo-based company, which focuses on tactile sensor hardware and software, demonstrated uSkin integrated into robotic hands and grippers, highlighting how robots can detect contact forces, object shape, and movement within a grasp.

The system is designed to provide robots with a more detailed sense of touch than is typically available using force or vision sensors alone. [Read more…] about XELA Robotics unlocks enhanced automation for humanoid and industrial robots
