Boston Dynamics just gave Atlas a new four-fingered hand built for industrial work.
It uses 13 degrees of freedom and tactile sensors across the fingertips and palm.
Atlas can grip tools, press triggers, and manipulate objects while reacting to what it feels.
Bounds on drone-mesh interception performance can be derived before picking a policy, with coverage probability matching simulation to within 0.007 absolute. The work also formalizes the limits a naive area ratio misses when…
