Chris Paxton highlights Sharpa's tactile skin after touring CoRL: it covers a robot's entire upper body and looks genuinely useful for deploying robots in real environments — he calls Sharpa a major hardware innovator to watch. Quoting Varun Nair's conference thread, the roundup also covers robots from DynaRobotics (doing laundry), holidayrobots, sudorobotics (wrestling stance), and FourierRobots, with videos and takes.
