Archon Robotics showcased whole-body intelligence for tactile sensing and deformable object manipulation: the robot grasps AirPods by touch and coordinates two hands to handle fabric shape changes. Amplifier micoolcho noted it's the first time he's seen a bot reach into a bag, feel around, and pick out an item in whole-body loco-manipulation.
