They move beyond the classic 'why can't robots do simple tasks' genre to ask: what happens when a robot arm can actually feel what it's holding? The episode centers on the development of high-resolution tactile sensors, like the GelSight-style sensors that use a camera and elastomer to create a 'digital skin' with unprecedented sensitivity.
