Further, the researchers noted that as they deployed their positioning system to real-world robot hands, the Dactyl system uses a human-like set of strategies to achieve the desired result, like ...

To find out how much force a mantis shrimp’s dactyl clubs can possibly withstand, the researchers tested live shrimp by having them strike a piezoelectric sensor like they would smash a shell.

The group’s robotics division says that Dactyl, its humanoid robotic hand first developed last year, has learned to solve a Rubik’s cube one-handed.

Glad as we are that the dactyl is open-source, to get in there and really mess around with it requires intimate knowledge of either OpenSCAD or Clojure. Well, not anymore.

A reinforcement-learning algorithm allows Dactyl to learn physical tasks by practicing them in a virtual-reality environment.

OpenAi just unveiled Dactyl, an AI system trained to control a robot hand using the same algorithms used to train computer game playing AIs.

Games currently on the table for porting include Dactyl Nightmare 2, Buggy Ball, Ghost Train, Missile Command, Virtuality Boxing, Zone Hunter, Pac-Man VR, X-Treme Strike, and Shoot for Loot.

While it might have just been a challenge for them, it also seemed like a need to show off. OpenAI is clearly interested in showing off what its Dactyl robotic-hand can do with a Rubik’s Cube.
