The argument over humanoid hands is tendons or motors in the fingers. Ours is neither. The large forces are hydraulic, made in the torso.
The reason was not force. A tendon closing a finger runs along the inner face, which is where the tactile sensing goes.

Raw footage from #FRIDAY's first business trip.
No coffee needed. Ready to work on arrival.

Two dots on FRIDAY's face, two battery packs.
Red = under 20%, swap that one.
Hot-swappable, so the other keeps it running.
Nothing gets paused.

Our in-house tactile sensor has passed 3.25M indentation cycles on the test rig. Still running.
We build #FRIDAY's hand and its sensors ourselves. Durability testing is ongoing.

We'll be at @corl_conf 2026!
Come meet #FRIDAY. 👋
You'll be able to see it in person, and touch its dexterous hands.
#CoRL2026 in Austin, November 9–12. #HolidayRobotics

Ten seconds of checking that every finger still does what it's supposed to. Both hands. 1x speed.

Our tactile sensors are built in-house. Here's one feeling a paintbrush. The better a robot feels, the better it handles what it touches.

We'd rather break #FRIDAY a thousand times in sim than once in the field.
That's why we built #HolidaySim — modeling contact physics real-world manipulation depends on.
It won't close the sim-to-real gap alone — every failure gets us closer.

Outstanding Paper at #RSS2026 👏
Huge congrats to @kty2396, @hojoon_ai and every co-author on FlashSAC — fast, stable off-policy RL across 60+ tasks and 10 simulators. This is the kind of work our research team chases every day.
Proud they call #HolidayRobotics home.

FlashSAC won the Outstanding Paper Award at RSS 2026 🎉
We got off-policy RL fast and stable enough to beat PPO and FastTD3 across 60+ tasks and 10 simulators with minimal tuning!
TL;DR: If you're working on dexterous manipulation, just try FlashSAC!
