Robotics papers highlight OpenJaws open-hardware grippers and CARD contact-based hand retargeting

According to a post on X by @OWW, a robotics papers roundup points to two research projects. OpenJaws, from a team including Adithyavairavan Murali and Erwin Coumans, is described as an open-hardware universal manipulation interface with stereo localization for collecting data for generalist manipulation. CARD, from authors including Jitendra Malik and Guanya Shi, retargets human hand motion to dexterous robot hands by anchoring on contacts. The post also links to additional items, but the excerpt provided does not give further details.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

OpenJaws, from a team including Adithyavairavan Murali and Erwin Coumans, is an open-hardware universal manipulation interface with stereo localization for collecting data for generalist manipulation. CARD, from authors including Jitendra Malik and Guanya Shi, retargets human hand motion to dexterous robot hands...

Researchers and builders working on robot data collection and dexterous manipulation may find these two approaches relevant to their own work. OpenJaws targets collecting data for generalist manipulation, while CARD addresses how human hand motion can be mapped onto robot hands. The excerpt does not report results or benchmarks, so readers should check the original papers for performance details and availability.

Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
