Collaborative Working: A Case Study
DEX-EE is the result of five years’ collaborative design between Shadow Robot and Google DeepMind.
We delve into the relationship and workflows that kept this epic partnership on track at the very bleeding edge of research needs, even as the world transformed around us.
DEX-EE Overview: The most robust dexterous robot hand on the market
Shadow Robot unveils DEX-EE, a transformative robot for use in dexterous manipulation and machine learning research, designed in collaboration with Google DeepMind.
Unlocking potential: How DEX-EE is Pushing Forward the Frontiers of Innovation
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.
ICRA 2024: Groundbreaking return to Yokohama
As we prepare to attend and exhibit at ICRA 2024 in Yokohama, we caught up with Matthew Godden, Senior Robotics Design Engineer. He has been at Shadow for just over 25 years, initially as his year out in industry and then after he graduated in 2000 with a degree in robotics and electronic engineering. He has designed all manner of robot body parts – in his words “anything that moves!” – and is also involved in developing the company’s product strategy.

How Does a Robotic Manipulator Work?
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.
Simulating the Shadow Hand
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.
ICRA 2023 – London Robotics Conference Without an Equal
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.
