Why dexterity is physical AI’s real bottleneck

Nicolas Sauvage argues that robotic dexterity requires high sequential reliability and recovery rather than isolated demonstration successes. Engineers must focus on minimum sufficient dexterity and closed-loop sensing instead of complex human-like hands. This shifts development priorities from adding mechanical joints to improving autonomous completion rates across full workflows.
