The development of a robot that can grapple like a human has proved challenging beyond just figuring out the biomechanics as all of the senses required for perception have also had to be replicated, and it remains difficult to build such a system that would be able to perceive the world as richly as a human can.

Summary

The creation of humanoid robots that can act and experience the world as richly as humans is challenging due to the biomechanics involved and the difficulty in perceiving the world through all senses, including touch. Developing strategies through self-play in simulation is possible, but building a physical robot that can compete in a grappling event is still a complex feat.
