Notes from building Physical AI Labs and XR Labs: robot training and teleoperation, data collection, CAVEs and simulation training.
MANUS Gloves ·
Two published use cases show where a data glove sits in a real humanoid or dexterous-hand system: a whole-body teleoperation rig behind the Psi-0 foundation model, and a ROS 2 pipeline for a 12-degree-of-freedom robot hand.
