MANUS

Data gloves that capture the hand's full motion for robot training.

MANUS is a Dutch company making high-fidelity data gloves designed to capture detailed hand and finger motion. Its gloves are used for teleoperation and for generating the rich manipulation demonstration datasets that robot foundation models need for training.

As robot-learning research has shifted toward learning from human demonstration, the quality of motion-capture hardware has become a bottleneck: imprecise or low-resolution hand tracking produces noisy training data that limits what models can learn. MANUS addresses this with gloves that track individual finger joints at high temporal resolution, enabling teleoperation systems and data-collection pipelines to capture the subtle hand configurations involved in dexterous tasks. The resulting datasets are directly applicable to training robot manipulation policies, making MANUS a key enabler in the data-collection phase of robot foundation-model development. The company's Netherlands base situates it within a strong European hardware and precision-engineering ecosystem.
