ABB_Robotics and PSYONIC Collaborate on Robotic Dexterity

ABB — ABB and PSYONIC have announced a collaboration to enhance robotic gripping and dexterity. This partnership involves integrating PSYONIC's Ability Hand, originally developed for human prosthetics, with ABB — ABB' GoFa cobot. The core of the initiative is to utilize real-world manipulation data generated by human prosthetic users to train robots to perform complex, delicate, and variable tasks that have traditionally been difficult to automate. This advancement is central to ABB — ABB' vision for Autonomous Versatile Robotics (AVR) and the development of next-generation physical AI. The collaboration aims to reduce engineering time for automation by up to 30% and open new possibilities across various industries by enabling robots to handle irregular or fragile objects with greater precision and reliability. Key figures like Marc Segura of ABB — ABB and Aadeel Akhtar of PSYONIC highlight the potential to bridge the gap between human and robot dexterity.
