Wristbands for Humans and Humanoids

Bio-mechanical sensing

Fether Labs is pioneering new sensors for monitoring hand mechanics in the wrist, enabling the seamless translation of hand movement into digital output.

Monitoring hand dynamics

Whether navigating a virtual interface or training a robot to touch and grab like a human, industries are struggling to measure the nuance of physical touch.

We are building foundational hardware and a data pipeline that maps the human hand for training robots.

The physicaltrigger

Every finger movement, grip, or gesture begins with the contraction of muscles in the forearm. This pulls on tendons that pass through your wrist like cables in a pulley system.

Our method

Most gesture-control systems try to ‘see’ what you are doing from the outside or ‘listen’ to faint electrical signals from your skin. Fether Labs does something simpler and more reliable: it captures the mechanical reality.

Our proprietary sensors sit on the wrist, measuring the displacement and mechanical pressure of the tendons in real time.

Fether Pro

Hand kinematics

Fether Pro unlocks scalable full-hand kinematics.
Our exceptional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enables continuous hand movement and force tracking.

Hands left free
No sensor glove, so the wearer keeps their natural sense of touch through complex, delicate tasks.
Made for the factory floor
A wristband stands up to daily work: nothing to wash, mend or keep replacing.
Richer data
Motion and touch forces, captured together.
Sensor fusion
Complements existing data sources, while removing the constraints of wearing gloves when scaling up.
