…The robot also cuts a withered leaf from the stem of a potted plant, handles robotic gears, pumps a balloon and shoots plastic marbles. Another element of the XBot-L’s dexterity is its upper limb agility. In the video, the humanoid throws a punch to bring down a pile of foam blocks. In other scenes, it gently sets down an egg on the table, and performs other delicate tasks just like a human. This is the first time Robot Era demonstrated its dexterous hand, an important end effector for a humanoid robot to achieve object manipulation. XHand says that the hand…

…their underlying muscles. “The real-world impact of this technology stems from the exosuit's dual function: it not only protects workers from injuries by supporting their bodies during ergonomically risky lifts but also lessens the effort needed for all lifts, including those considered ‘safe,’” said Christopher Buck, head of product at Verve Motion. Verve Motion said its SafeLift exosuits have aided U.S. workers in lifting more than 300 million pounds since the wearable technology debuted in 2020. SafeLift exosuits have been deployed in a wide range of industries, including grocery, package distribution, third party logistics (3PL), retail, supply chain distribution, and…
