This is one of the hardest problems in robotics: hands.

PSYONIC is solving it by using human data, capturing touch, grip, and dexterity, and transferring it to robots.

Alex Wolf Torres, Associate Editor, DROIDS, spoke with Dr. Aadeel Akhtar and Dale DiMassi from PSYONIC at NVIDIA GTC. Dale is a bionic hand user himself. As a user of the bionic hand, DiMassi discussed the device's capabilities.

At NVIDIA GTC, we visited the Build-a-Claw demo to see how OpenClaw actually works in practice.

DROIDS Associate Editor Alexander Wolf Torres speaks with NVIDIA’s Mark McKeen about how an AI agent can move from concept to robot. Starting from a simple prompt, OpenClaw proposes designs, iterates on hardware, and trains control policies in simulation.

In this case, it produced a tracked robot with a claw. When asked why, it had an answer.

This conversation shows how design, simulation, and training are starting to merge into a single loop, with the agent actively participating in the process.

Somewhere, 135,000 agents hit a wall at noon on a Saturday. Turns out $20 a month doesn't cover an always-on AI coworker.

Anthropic cut off Claude Pro and Max subscribers from routing their flat-rate plans through third-party agent frameworks. OpenClaw first. The rest shortly behind it. Roughly 60% of the 135,000-plus active OpenClaw instances were running on subscription credits. That’s the size of the subsidy Anthropic was absorbing on every session.

The infrastructure math checks out. OpenClaw bypasses Anthropic’s prompt-caching optimizations. A single heavy session consumes infrastructure that, at standard API rates, runs $1,000 to $5,000 for one day of use. A Claude Pro subscription costs $20 a month. #OpenClaw
