A Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing factory in Hungary is using humanoid robots to help with human staffing shortages on the factory floor.

Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson reveals how Figure's robot shows advanced manufacturing skills at BMW plant.

The S01 is designed to enhance the flexibility and functionality of humanoid robots, offering finger agility similar to that of human hands while maintaining substantial load-bearing capabilities.

Robot grippers and suction cups can pick and place items, but more dexterous tasks such as assembly, insertion, reorientation, packaging, etc. have remained in the realm of human manipulation.

But a new project out of MIT and Harvard imagines a better robotic hand–one with no hand at all. Instead of human fingers, it’s modeled after a Venus flytrap and one very clever origami project.

For example, more capable robotic hands could be useful in computer assembly where assembling microchips requires a level of precision that currently only human hands can achieve.

Fortunately, Valve was kind enough to share it with us in the above video which outlines how the assembly line came together and how it's able to build the Steam Controller without any human ...

But in the field of 2D materials, which is considered one of the most exciting areas for future electronics, scientists still have to laboriously hand-make each new potential material before they can ...
