The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

By connecting hardware analysis, methodological development, data resources, and evaluation, this survey aims to provide a structured understanding of dexterous hand research and to clarify the most important open challenges for future study.

C2weakest assumption

That the reviewed literature is sufficiently representative across embodiments, tasks, and evaluation protocols to reveal the true developmental trajectory without major selection bias.

C3one line summary

A structured survey of dexterous robotic hand research that reviews hardware, control methods, data resources, and benchmarks while identifying major limitations and future directions.
