Why dexterity is physical AI's real bottleneck, not just a hardware race

The Robot Report argues that a robot succeeding 99% of the time is not ready for autonomous work, since a 100-step workflow at that rate completes only 36.6% of the time.

The article says reliability depends on a closed loop across sensing, control, and recovery, and that real-world deployment generates the data needed to improve it.

It also argues that the right physical form depends on the job, citing Agility's Digit, ANYbotics' inspection robots, and Starship's delivery robots.
