According to AI News on X, Clone Robotics upgraded its android body to a 206-bone design with 164 degrees of freedom, enabling finer whole-body dexterity for humanoid manipulation; Linkerbot’s L30 robotic hand achieved 450 degrees per second motion with sub-millimeter precision, improving high-speed pick-and-place and in-hand manipulation; and Generalist AI released Gen One, trained on 500,000 hours of data to control any robot across platforms. As reported by AI News, these advances point to faster integration of foundation models for robotics control, lower-cost dexterous grasping, and expanded use cases in logistics, assembly, and service robotics. According to the linked YouTube video by AI News, the combination of high-DoF hardware and generalist policies creates near-term opportunities for retrofit control stacks, teleoperation data marketplaces, and benchmarking services for cross-robot policy transfer.
