We're building the fine motor system for commercial manipulation
Our bet:
- Controlling contact is the fundamental hurdle to commercial utility of flexible robots.
- Contact will be solved by the decomposition of motion into reusable fine motor skills with force-sensitive grippers, not massive data from video or sim.
- The language of contact is the mechanics of motion, and motor skill models will be built on this language.
- Fine motor control must run as fast models on the edge, and complement deliberative planning models in the cloud.
- Superhuman performance will come from closing the loop in real commercial deployments.
