without a hand while a broken one is away for repair
Robots can walk, sort parcels and fold a shirt, slowly. Give most of them a raspberry and they will crush it.
What they are missing is force: how hard to squeeze, and the moment something starts to slip. A camera cannot see either. The only way to teach them is a hand that people wear all day. So we make one.
How it works
Clinics buy the hand. Robotics teams will pay to learn from it, and that money makes the next hand cheaper.
- Clinics buy hands
- People wear them every day
- Robotics teams learn from that
- The margin lowers the price of the next hand
