14 REASONS ROBOTICS IS HARD

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Polished robot demos can hide cherry-picked successes, carefully staged environments, slow operation, and poor reliability. The checklist spans dexterous hands, tactile sensing, visual understanding, planning and replanning, balance, strength, endurance, power, maintenance, safety, data collection, simulation gaps, manufacturing, and the economics of deploying machines in messy real-world environments.
