Robot team says it has 9,000 hand variants for pretraining

- The quoted post says the team now has over 9,000 hand variations available for pretraining, ranging from 2-finger and 5-finger hands to power tools, cooking tools, and tape dispensers.
- The point is that a robot’s intelligence should learn to use a wide range of hands and end-effectors, not just a single standard manipulator.
- The reply turns that into a joke: “anything’s a hand if you’re brave enough,” underscoring how broad and unconventional the dataset is.
- This is both a robotics dataset / pretraining update and a light AI-robotics meme.
