Year: 2024

Award: Robotics & Automation Awards

Award Name: The R&D Innovation Award

Company: Google DeepMind, The Shadow Robot Company

The Shadow Robot company has developed a new robot hand in collaboration with Google DeepMind to meet the needs of their real-world machine-learning projects. DEX-EE (New Shadow Hand) is an ideal hardware platform for dexterous manipulation research.

Delivering dynamic and controlled motion in a robust and reliable package, enabling long-running experiments without interruptions due to hardware failure DEX-EE’s high-speed sensor networks provide rich sensor data, including position, force and inertial measurement, as well as hundreds of channels of tactile sensing per finger.

Shadow’s ground-breaking fingertip sensors offer hundreds of taxels each, with a massive dynamic range.
