Beyond Dexterity: Why Contact May Define the Next Era of Robotics
AGILINK demonstrated a robot making balloon animals at ICRA 2026, showcasing advances in "contact intelligence" - the ability to maintain stable physical interaction as objects deform and conditions change. The company argues that managing contact, not just motion, will define the next generation of robotics.
