…of tomorrow. Multiple sectors begin to benefit from robotics STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education seeks to inspire the next generation of roboticists amid a global talent shortage. Manufacturing, which has been using robots for decades, has transformed into a knowledge-based industry. It is far different from the dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks that people turned away from, just as they had left agriculture during the first Industrial Revolution. E-commerce and construction are other industries that face labor shortfalls, changing demands, and the need for supply chain efficiencies. In addition, pollution and global climate change are wide-scale problems requiring…

…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…
