OpenTac tactile skin paper gets real robot hand integration same day it drops

- The OpenTac tactile sensor skin preprint from Johns Hopkins and MIT wasn't even on arXiv yet when someone chained multiple OpenTac sensors into a nontrivial design on a tendon-driven robot hand.
- The integrator says anything from the paper can be implemented in your own designs via their platform with a one-shot prompt, wiring included. The authors are struck by the adoption speed of the open robotics hardware community.
