Interchangeable Robot Grippers Released

The authors announce the release of an interchangeable gripper, reiterating their goal of enabling modern AI tools to operate reliably in high-stakes environments.
They argue that while humanoid hands are useful, they fall short when stable tool gripping and precise control are required. Their solution fixes the tool to the gripper and replaces the entire hand. The authors also note that AI excels at generating these customized tool structures.
