Robot body awareness

Fact

A robot’s ability to feel its body position, pressure, and movement.

In Plain Words

Robot body awareness is like wearing a giant backpack in a crowded school hallway. You know where your elbows are, even without checking.

It helps robots grab things, dodge people, and walk better. Less bumping. Less face-planting.
