Saturday Robotics x Robotics Center: Robotics & World Models Reading Club 32: Robotics Center Dexterity Day. SF 10/3

Saturday Robotics × Robotics Center: Robotics & World Models Reading Club 32: Robotics Center Dexterity Day. SF 10/3 A high-signal reading group for AI researchers & builders pushing the frontiers of robotic world models, WAMs, and embodied intelligence. In our previous sessions, we brought together researchers and engineers from Boston Dynamics, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Physical Intelligence, Tesla, Generalist, Rhoda AI, and leading Bay Area robotics startups. Hosted by Junfan Zhu & Aurora Feng. Support Saturday Robotics Inc: https://donate.stripe.com/28EcN52rjgeY1fJboYgEg00 ​​​​Reading Club 32's Core Theme Robotics Center Dexterity Day A full day on dexterous manipulation: real hands, real tactile data, running live on stage. Hardware you can actually touch, the data behind it, and the people building both. What to Expect 1. Real Hardware and Data Dexterous Hands Wuji Hand 2 Sharpa Hand BrainCo Revo Hand Omnihand LinkerBot Tactile Gloves Wuji Glove RC G1 Glove Manus Glove Datasets Real-world manipulation data Tactile data Force data Robot motion data An opportunity to learn more about accessing RC's dexterous data and hardware. 2. Live Hardware Showcase Dexterous manipulation systems running live on stage: Dexterous hand control — real-time robotic hand control with tactile input Tactile sensing — live touch and pressure visualisation during manipulation Hand + arm integration — coordinated dexterous manipulation with robotic hands and arms 3. Guest Panel — Solving the Dexterity Data Problem Leaders across robot learning, foundation models, frontier robotics and real-world deployment discuss: Robot training data Human + tactile demonstrations Hardware + data at scale From research to deployment 📣 Call for Speakers Working on dexterous hands, tactile sensing, teleoperation, manipulation data or policies? We'd love to have you on stage. Talks, live demos and panel seats are all open — email us a line on what you'd present: [email protected] — Jerry Huang [email protected] — Junfan Zhu [email protected] — Aurora Feng Partnership and sponsorship enquiries welcome at the same addresses.
