Shadow Robot starts Innovate UK semi-autonomous teleoperation project
Shadow Robot said it received Innovate UK support for a 13-month semi-autonomous teleoperation demonstrator with OC Robotics, Cambrian Intelligence and UCL.
Why it matters
This is an early public step in Shadow Robot's teleoperation roadmap, tying its hand hardware to remote manipulation systems.
Evidence notes
- Shadow Robot said an Innovate UK-backed semi-autonomous teleoperation demonstrator launched on March 1, 2017.
- The project paired Shadow Dexterous Hand hardware with an OC Robotics snake-arm robot, Cambrian Intelligence augmented-VR work and UCL vision/testing support.
- The goal was to let operators command higher-level teleoperation tasks rather than directly controlling every robot movement.
Company context
Shadow Robot develops dexterous robotic hands, tactile sensing and teleoperation systems for manipulation research, embodied-AI labs and advanced robot-control work.
