Dexterous manipulation is a bottleneck in robotics. Today it’s captured with vision alone - egocentric and palm cameras - which fail in different ways:
Occlusions
Reflections and glare
Reflective surfaces, glare and low light degrade tracking exactly where real work happens.
Motion blur
05
Out of FOV
Hands constantly leave the camera’s field of view - reaching, turning, working below the table edge. Every exit is a gap in the data.
06
Hardware overhead
Extra cameras, mounts and calibration add cost and setup time to every session - and still miss what happens inside the grip.
