KaRMA: first metric to quantify robot hand dexterity from kinematics alone, at IROS 2026
pulkitology · x · 2026-09-10
- Every new robot hand claims to be the most dexterous, yet no objective number has existed to back those claims.
- Researchers led by martinpeticco introduce KaRMA, the first metric that computes a hand's true dexterity using only a kinematic model, and use it to guide hand design.
- The work is accepted at IROS 2026, addressing the long-standing gap of quantifying dexterity in the modern era of robotic capabilities.
