What this measures

Human baseline

Handle a fragile object — glass, egg, ripe fruit — without crushing it.

Human frontier

Continuous compliant force control across general manipulation tasks at human speed.

Current state

What works

Force-limited control in industrial arms under constrained conditions.

Key gaps

Real-time compliance on general humanoid hands interacting with unknown objects.
