Humans excel at manual tasks, and that ideally, robots should surpass us in these functions. At times, we have the advantage due to our superior dexterity, while in other instances, we can perform tasks that robots should, in theory, be capable of. As we advance robotics our goal is to effectively transfer our human skills to robots.
A robotic manipulator — or robotic arm — is an electronically controlled component with several segments to allow movement. Here’s a closer look at how they function and why people design them in particular ways.
Running a physical robot carries costs and risks – so why not make life easier by getting things working in simulation first? In that vein, let’s see how we can support you to simulate the Shadow Hand.
It always takes a while to take the measure of a big conference - and ICRA is one of the biggest in robotics! True, an event like Automatica will have more visitors on the show floor, but ICRA brings together the robotics research community in a way that is hard to beat.

Building expertise in building robotics is hard – you need to understand mechanical engineering, electronics, firmware, control, software and a whole host of systems engineering. It’s not something for everyone, and sometimes it’s just easier to bring in the experts who have “been there, done that” to help you move further and faster.

Shadow Dexterous Systems are complex technology, and they represent a serious investment from your side in our hardware. That is why we want to help you understand our process, from the first time you contact us, to what happens after we deliver the robot to you.
The recent ERF robotics event was a great success. Attendees had the opportunity to explore the fascinating world of robotics and experience some of the newest advancements in technology.
The holy grail of robotics… one of the most complicated and beautiful pieces of natural engineering
