“So this is the PsYonic Ability Hand, it's made for both humans if you're missing a hand or on robots. And I can control with these two buttons, so I can shake hands with it, we can do different grips with it. So you can make a pinch with it, if you are at a rock concert you can rock on. And one of our user favorites is the finger wave where you can see all the different fingers moving right over there.”

STORYLINE:
At Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, humanoid robots kicked soccer balls, boxed and even attempted archery — but also froze mid-routine for battery swaps.

The spectacle at a four-day conference and display event underscored both the promise and the hurdles facing humanoid machines, which lag behind the rapid progress of artificial intelligence.

Experts say limited real-world training data slows development, though collaborations among researchers, data firms and manufacturers are drawing billions in funding.

Developers showcased prosthetic hands, brain-cell-powered chips and other advances, offering an fresh look at a field still wobbling but steadily marching toward practical use
