Jitendra Malik shared Amazon FAR's Dex-Hands team "Pick Anything" manipulation demo: a single policy performs human-like grasps across 66 different objects, ranging from AirPods to dumbbells and pipe wrenches.
Technical details: vision comes only from a stereo camera head (no wrist cameras), manipulation via Shadow hands, trained with video and RL with zero teleoperation data. Live demos at CoRL 2026 (Demo 12, Nov 9–10).
