Technology deep dive

Hardware as a data-generation instrument.

Selective hardware can strengthen a training-layer company when it creates physical information the learning program cannot otherwise obtain.

POST-PHASE-ONE + FUTURE

Staged glove

Every sensor has to earn retention.

Candidate modalities are evaluated against measurable incremental value, reliability, synchronization, wearability, safety, cost, and complexity.

Stage 1

Multi-axis tactile · Dynamic force/slip · High-precision joint tracking · IMUs

Core contact, slip, pose, and motion.

Stage 2

Wrist force/torque · sEMG

Global load and candidate anticipatory muscle activity.

Stage 3

Vision-based tactile · Palm pressure · Time-of-flight proximity · Ego-vision

Expanded contact geometry and spatial or visual context.

Future roadmap extension

An active or shape-changing palm.

A future palm could conform, deform, or move more like a human palm instead of acting only as a rigid plate. The research reason is to generate palm-contact, pressure-distribution, deformation, and kinematic data.
