- D01 combines body electronic skin with arm-end speed above 10.5 m/s and 0.2 mm repeat positioning accuracy.
- W02 integrates 21 active degrees of freedom, visual fingertip tactile sensing and electronic skin across the rest of the hand.
- AE01 uses 22 encoders to capture hand motion and provides 256 levels of continuous haptic feedback per fingertip.
Refined Robotics begins two-legged parcel-delivery trial with Evri in Barnsley
- The trial platform carries parcels up to 15 kg and travels at up to 6 km/h.
- It can operate autonomously or under remote control and is being evaluated as support for couriers.
- The trial will assess how the system fits into existing parcel delivery networks.
Sharpa Wave completes autonomous cube solves in UC San Diego’s FINGR study
- FINGR achieved 297 successful layer turns out of 300 attempts, compared with 79.7% success for the base flow policy.
- The Sharpa Wave and xArm7 system demonstrated dexterous manipulation by solving all ten scrambled 2×2×2 cubes in approximately 137 seconds on average, including pickup, table-supported changes of grasp and final placement.
- The released dataset contains 36 operator-recorded sequences and 576 turns, with tactile measurements, joint states, tracked cube geometry and turn annotations.
