Palm cameras
Small cameras built into the palms of a robot's hands. Figure says each hand on Figure 03 has one with a wide view and little delay, to watch an object up close while the hand grasps it. Figure does not name who makes them.

Strengths and trade-offs
Our analysisStrengths
Sees the object right where the hand meets it, which head cameras often cannot.
Still works when the arm or hand blocks the view from the head.
Small and cheap.
Trade-offs
Very close to the object, so the picture can be blurred or blocked by what is being held.
In the hand, it gets knocked and dirty.
More video for the robot's computer to process.
Why robot makers choose it
Our readWhen a robot reaches into a cupboard or a bin, its own arm often hides the object from the head cameras. A camera in the palm keeps the object in sight until the fingers close.
This is our reasoning from the public facts. No maker has confirmed it.
Robots using it
This list covers only the robots researched so far. A robot missing here may still use this part.
