Robotics startup Proception publicly debuted its new dexterous hand, ProHand 2 Power, at IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh:
- Attendees could shake hands with the gripper, showcasing its strength and human-like feel.
- The ProGlove data glove and hand are co-designed: human data captured by the glove maps directly onto the hand — an approach researchers confirmed as right.
- The company has started shipping to lab customers and gathered in-person feedback.
- Booth consensus: dexterous manipulation is having its moment, and tactile sensing is increasingly seen as essential to real-world robotics.
