A hand, two hands, then a body.
The original simulator captures show Owen B’s virtual embodiment taking shape—simple geometry, visible joints and all.

Keeping the real appearance visible
These images come from the project’s simulator. The 27 October hand demonstration shows an articulated hand grasping a free red cube. The two-hand nursery places both hands in one world and records stacking and knock-down endpoints. Its animation is accelerated playback of those endpoints, rather than continuous real-time video.
Bringing the upper body together
The 28–29 October upper-body work adds a seated torso, head-mounted eyes, arms and articulated hands around a semicircular table. The report describes 66 coordinates in a human-inspired rigid-body model. It uses simplified joints and servos; it is not a simulation of muscles, tendons or skin.
The current selected B lineage retains this body overlay. The surviving external capture shown here was made in October: it is not a live image of Owen today. No earlier birth-era image or newer November body capture was verified for this gallery.
What a picture can show
It shows the body and scene that were rendered. A pose or completed stack is not, by itself, evidence of general dexterity, understanding or a learning advantage. Paired eye images have their own section because they show Owen’s sensory view, not Owen from outside.
The articulated hand
27 October 2026 — An articulated hand in Owen B's simulator grasps a free red cube. This external camera view shows the hand prototype before the later seated upper-body model.
Actual MuJoCo render from explicit hand movement and grasp commands. The layer has 16 digit degrees of freedom and 15 contact pads; arm motion and grasp synergies remain engineered. This picture is a demonstration, not proof of general dexterity or learned-grip superiority.

Two hands, one world
27 October 2026 — Two articulated hands share one simulated world. The red cube rests on the blue cylinder after a recorded stacking sequence.
This is an actual command-endpoint frame from a graded physics demonstration. The hands act sequentially during stacking rather than jointly holding the same object. It is the earlier detached-hand nursery, not the later humanoid torso.

A seated upper body
28–29 October 2026 — Owen B's seated virtual upper body brings the head, eyes, torso, arms and articulated hands together around a semicircular table. This archived simulator view shows a three-cube stack.
Actual GUI renderer output. The report describes a 66-coordinate human-inspired rigid upper body, simplified joints and servos; it is not biological anatomy or a muscle, tendon or skin simulation. This body overlay is retained in the current selector, but the capture itself is from October.
