WUJI's robot hand learns pen spinning entirely in simulation, demos glove teleoperation

Pen spinning is a classic test of human finger dexterity, and WUJI trained a robot hand to do it: its sim-to-real policy, trained entirely in simulation, spins a pen on a physical WUJI Hand 2. At IROS 2026 the team also demoed glove-based teleoperation, with a human driving the hand's motions live. Two paths to dexterity: learn it in sim, or lend it from a human.
