Summary
According to a post on X by @yokoshaan, Origami Robotics has started mass-producing its S1 glove, a device that records finger movement and pressure. The glove captures 20 finger-joint angles plus pressure at the fingertips and palm. Its joint layout matches the company's robot hand, so the readings can map directly onto robot joint targets. The company tested the glove on 30 hard tasks, such as card handling, while wearing it.
AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
What happened
Origami Robotics' S1 glove captures 20 finger-joint angles plus fingertip and palm pressure, and its joint layout matches the company's robot hand so readings map straight onto robot joint targets. The company tested 30 hard tasks such as card handling while wearing it; pricing and ship dates weren't announced....
Why it matters
Robotics developers who need human hand-motion data could use the S1 to collect readings that transfer directly to a matching robot hand. Pricing and ship dates have not been announced, so buyers cannot yet plan around cost or availability. Watch for the company's price, shipping schedule, and any published results from the 30 tested tasks.
