Dexterity is the next wave: Vasilapostolos Ouranis, Haptikos · Closed Loop at GTC Berlin

Folding a T-shirt, filling a washing machine with glasses: the next wave in robotics is dexterity, and that needs data from human hands. Vasilapostolos Ouranis, CTO of Haptikos, shows their capture system: an exoskeleton glove that records 24 joints of the hand plus touch and force. Operators wear it with a VR headset and teleoperate robots inside NVIDIA Isaac Sim, so you don't need a physical robot cell for every operator. We talk about real versus simulated data, mixing the two, and trials in automotive manufacturing.
