Startup to pay prosthetic users to train robots
Original: Exclusive / Solving for the hand: Startup wants to pay prosthetic users to teach robots
A startup is launching a programme that will pay people who use prosthetic hands to help teach robots dexterous manipulation, according to a Semafor exclusive. The idea is that prosthetic users' firsthand understanding of hand control and grip could improve how robots learn fine motor tasks. It highlights a growing push in robotics to source human expertise for training data.
Why now: The unusual approach of compensating prosthetic users for robotics training data is a novel twist in the race to build dexterous robots.
