[Orca Hand] Demo object bin changed and contact thresholds feel wrong for builders researchers (beginner)

How do you catch the case where Orca Hand threshold tuning seems wrong, but the real change was the demo object set rather than the sensor stack?

A deceptively simple Orca Hand problem appears when the set of demo objects changes between sessions. The hand and sensors may be fine, but threshold tuning suddenly feels wrong because object size, compliance, or surface friction changed underneath your old assumptions.

How are you diagnosing Orca Hand cases where the demo object bin changed and contact thresholds now feel wrong?

Please share how you separate sensor drift from object-set drift, which checks tell you the issue is really the test set, and what workflow keeps demos comparable when classroom or lab objects are swapped.

If you reply, include one exact threshold symptom and one exact object-set or validation check that exposed the cause.

Comment 1

The best replies explain whether the change first looked like sensor noise, contact delay, or different grasp outcomes.

Comment 2

If one reference object or comparison set exposed the issue quickly, share it. That simple control test is what many searchers want.

Comment 3

It also helps to explain how you keep demo and data-collection objects clearly separated.
