ABB Robotics and PSYONIC Use Human-Generated Data to Advance Robotic Dexterity

How people with prosthetic arms are teaching robots to 'feel' like a human

Data from real-life humans will help to improve robot grip and dexterity. (Credit: ABB Robotics and PSYONIC/Cover Media) People with prosthetic arms are teaching robots how to feel and touch like humans. It is hoped the tests will improve their dexterity for delicate tasks, like gripping, using real-world data from humans. ABB Robotics announced a collaboration with California-based bionics company PSYONIC. ABB’s GoFa collaborative robot – or co…

San Diego startup brings bionic hands to factory robots

It may sound like science fiction. But a San Diego-area startup, which developed an advanced prosthetic hand to help amputees regain movement and touch feedback, is now using that technology to help train robotic arms for delicate manufacturing tasks that traditionally required human workers. PSYONIC in Rancho Bernardo unveiled a first-of-its-kind partnership Tuesday with ABB Robotics, one of the world’s largest robotics companies, to equip robo…
