NeoDavid has changed a lot in the last 14 years. A new video of the humanoid robot from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics showcases its “exceptional dexterity.” neoDavid’s finger joints can be controlled individually, which allows the robot to be seen loading and unloading a dishwasher as well as holding and rotating a bowl in its hand.
The goal of neoDavid, according to DLR, is to get it “as close to human capabilities as possible.” Tech companies are continuing to expand their investments into humanoid robots and their potential capabilities, including Tesla’s Optimus bot and Figure’s Figure 02 robot.
