Nori Robots Chooses a Claw Over More Dexterous Hands to Control Cost

Nori Robots uses a claw instead of more expensive, complex humanlike hands. The company tested more dexterous hands, but said cost remains a major consideration in the robot’s design.

Under current control policies, the claw can perform about 90% of the tasks a hand can do, according to the company’s assessment. The relative advantage of the claw may change as control models and policies improve.
