Devang from @TheHumanoidHub visited us last week in our Mountain View office! Fun moment from our conversation: he guessed the thumb is the most important finger for grip strength. It's actually the pinky. Small detail, but it's the kind of thing that shapes how we design these hands to actually work like a human's. Full thing's linked below. Thanks for stopping by, @dev_and_ !
