Our Tactile Telerobot made waves at Jeff Bezos’ re:MARS robotics conference and the Amazon CEO tried out our technology for himself. Speaking to GeekWire Aerospace and Science Editor, Alan Boyle, Bezos looked over at the Rubik’s Cube on the table and joked: “You want me to solve that Rubik’s Cube? I can’t even do that with my hands!” After a bit of play, he stated it felt “weirdly natural”.

That is really impressive. The tactile feedback is really tremendous!
From a small internal demo, we knew the Tactile Telerobot could transmit touch cross-country, making it the world’s first haptic telerobot hand. Now we just needed the world to see it! So, in an exclusive for WIRED magazine, we successfully trialled haptic feedback across the Atlantic, from California to London.
One of the greatest promises of advanced robotics: keeping humans out of dangerous situations
OpenAI is a non-profit AI research company, based in San Francisco, California and founded notably by business moguls Elon Musk and Sam Altman. The company are discovering and enacting the path to safe artificial intelligence. They have been experimenting with the Shadow Dexterous Hand for a while now making trailblazing advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence research.

A great write-up by Joseph Flaig for the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Joseph came to our Headquarters in London to try our technology first-hand, and we challenged him to use the robot Hand to pick up some chocolates from a classic tub of Quality Streets (the ones he successfully grabbed were his to enjoy). It’s a comprehensive feature including when we started, our space ventures, our tech in the nuclear industry and what’s next for us. With a sugar rush and a story, Joseph left, and photographer, Will Amlot came in to take a bunch of bright images of our Hand (the images belong and must credit him).
People have dreamed of teleoperation – remote control – of human-like machines for decades, and Shadow recently made it reality
Thanks to Luke Dormehl for writing a detailed article about our emerging tech for Digital Trends. The article covers a great deal including our Tactile Telerobot (and a clip of it playing a game of Jenga), how we got to building our robot Hands, our Hand within AI and our shared avatar vision with Japanese airline, All Nippon Airways (ANA).
By creating a hand virtually indistinguishable from the real thing in terms of functionality, the company will help deliver robots which possess the same flexibility and range of capabilities as a human
