6thSense
6thSense builds a tactile training-data engine for dexterous robot manipulation: wearable tactile-capture rigs (in-house designed gloves and robot-hand skin) record eight aligned streams per demonstration — tactile/pressure, egocentric video, RGB-D depth, 3D hand pose, IMU dynamics, wrist/scene cameras, labels and success/failure outcomes. A capture-sync-calibration-packaging pipeline turns raw recordings into model-ready episodes sold to robot-learning teams. Positioned as 'a nervous system for physical AI', the product targets teams training manipulation policies that lack real-world touch data.
