While placement accuracy is now very reliable, with error correction if necessary, the real test will be the pick.

Once the part is in hand, the placement is very structured.

Unlike this demonstration, what is not structured is the picking.

Parts are usually a jumble inside of a parts bin.

Only after achieving reliability, is it time to increase the speed until something breaks. Usually the software. Then improvements are made, and the dial can be turned up again.

Figure has increased the speed 4X, but not yet to human speed. The actuators still have headroom. It will get faster.

What's the big deal about 1000 placements/day?

Reliability.

Before humanoid bots can be deployed they must prove reliability both in task completion and durability.

One is a S/W issue, the other H/W. 🧵
