## Summary

Lorenzo Jamone, Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London and director of the CRISP group, discusses the challenges of replicating human hand dexterity and tactile intelligence in robotics. He explains how his team uses teleoperation to transfer human manipulation strategies to robots for applications in food manufacturing and nuclear decommissioning. The conversation highlights specific technical hurdles, such as radiation-hardened sensors for snake robots in sealed nuclear facilities, and the use of soft robotics to explore unknown environments.
