The micoolcho team took part in Jitendra Malik's "5-year-old vs robot (MolmoAct2)" dexterity challenge at the SPIN workshop. Their takeaway: the gap is clear—progress is being made, but robotics is far from solved. They suggest pro magic tricks, grand-master origami, and Michelin-grade cooking could be the ultimate tests of robot dexterity.
