Humanoids make up one of the fastest growing subfields of robotics, and dexterity is perhaps the greatest challenge in making humanoids practically useful. In this webinar panel, researchers from the U.S. National Science Foundation HAND Engineering Research Center will discuss dexterity with thought leaders from three prominent humanoid companies: Sanctuary AI, Boston Dynamics, and Apptronik.

Host: Kevin Lynch, Northwestern University

Moderator: Brenna Argall, Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab

Panelists:

Jeremy Fishel, Sanctuary AI

Alberto Rodriguez, Boston Dynamics

Luis Sentis, Apptronik and University of Texas, Austin

HAND is the U.S. National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center on Human Augmentation via Dexterity
