Ep. 17: Today's Humanoid Robots Have Toddler Hands, Not Adult Ones.

The Robo Success Podcast · 8 Sept 2026 · 20m

What this episode covers

Jay Li, CEO and Founder of Proception, explains that current humanoid robots possess 'toddler-level' dexterity, lacking the tactile sensing required for useful work. He argues that while hardware and range of motion have improved, tactile feedback is now the critical bottleneck for high-success-rate manipulation. Proception addresses this by providing both robotic hands for deployment and specialized gloves for high-quality data collection to train AI models.

    Bonus Episode: Giving robots the power of human touch

    Vladimir Ivan, Vice President of Robotics at Touchlab, explains how his company develops e-skins to give robots the sense of touch, moving beyond visual-only perception. He details their new product, Tacto, a generalizable tactile fingertip with 16 sensing elements that detects pressure, vibration, and texture to enable dexterous manipulation in healthcare and manufacturing. Ivan discusses the engineering trade-offs between material robustness and sensitivity, highlighting the sensor's ability to withstand abuse while maintaining high-resolution data for AI-driven robot control.

    Episode 74: Teaching robots to grasp - Edward Johns

    Edward Johns, Director of the Robot Learning Lab at Imperial College London, discusses the challenges of robotic manipulation, arguing that the bottleneck is currently AI and control rather than hardware. He explains his lab's use of imitation learning, where robots learn by being physically guided, and details the Dali Bot project, which uses AI image generators to help robots visualize task goals. Johns outlines applications ranging from warehouse sorting to flexible manufacturing and long-term domestic robots, while noting the significant data scarcity in robotics compared to other AI fields.

    Agility Robotics' Melonee Wise on role of humanoids

    Melonee Wise, CTO of Agility Robotics and founder of Fetch Robotics, discusses the technical roadmap for Digit, the company's bipedal mobile manipulator. She explains why Agility is focusing on tote handling in logistics to bridge 'islands of automation' and argues that high-dexterity hands are unnecessary for near-term industrial impact. The conversation also covers the industry's reliance on software over hardware, the limitations of generative AI in safety-critical contexts, and the consolidation of the AMR market, including Rockwell Automation's acquisition of Clearpath Robotics.

    Episode 152: Dexterous robot hands - Rich Walker

    Rich Walker, Director of Shadow Robot Company, discusses the evolution of dexterous robotic hands, contrasting their anthropomorphic Shadow Hand with a robust, non-anthropomorphic hand developed for Google DeepMind. He explains the engineering trade-offs between lightweight soft actuation and heavy motors, and the challenges of defining 'dexterity' in research and industrial applications. Walker also addresses the policy hurdles for robotics SMEs, arguing that robots are substrate tools rather than end-products, and critiques the current hype surrounding humanoid robots as a financing strategy rather than a technical necessity.

    Episode 58: Dexterous robotic hands - Lorenzo Jamone

    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.
