Open Robotics visited Tangent's midtown Manhattan office to see new tactile grippers for dexterous manipulation and data collection, built on ROS and MoveIt. Tangent is also one of the speakers at this Thursday's ROS NYC meetup. Original post on X Section: Organization News
Why it matters
Developers working with ROS and MoveIt can see an example of tactile gripper hardware built on those open tools. Robotics teams and researchers focused on dexterous manipulation and data collection can watch whether Tangent shares more technical details at the Thursday meetup. Because the source is a short social post, the scope of the visit and any outcomes remain unclear until more information is published.
