META IS MAKING A ROBOT HAND THAT CAN ‘FEEL' TOUCH

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Meta has partnered with GelSight and Wonik Robotics to commercialize tactile sensors for AI. The partnership aims to create devices that can learn about the world in richer detail to advance research into AI. Meta is working with GelSight on Digit 360, a tactile fingertip with human-level multimodal sensing capabilities. Its work with Wonik will focus on developing robotic hands with tactile sensors like Digit 360. These products will be available for purchase next year.
