- X Square Robot unveiled TwinDEX: a pair of co-designed three-finger, 9-DoF hands — one wearable for human data collection, one for robot deployment — sharing identical kinematics, contact surfaces, appearance, and sensors.
- Claims up to 5.3x effective throughput vs on-robot teleoperation; human demos transfer directly to robot control with no on-robot collection.
- Trained from scratch on only a few hundred wearable demos with zero on-robot data, it completed a 20+ step standardized chemistry experiment involving tool switches, fine force control, and bimanual coordination.
