Metagloves Pro Haptic recognized for bringing precise hand tracking and real-time haptic feedback to robotic teleoperation.
We’re proud to announce that MANUS has won the Groundbreaking Technology category at the Humanoid Robotics Industry Awards 2026, presented by Humanoid Robotics Technology, for Metagloves Pro Haptic.
Selected from a strong field of innovators shaping the future of humanoid robotics, this recognition marks a proud milestone for MANUS and our work to bring human dexterity to robot learning and control.
Metagloves Pro Haptic lets operators feel what a robot’s hand is doing. Combining MANUS’ electromagnetic field tracking with vibrotactile feedback, the gloves capture human hand movement in 25 degrees of freedom with millimeter accuracy, without occlusion or drift, while signalling contact in real time.
This connection between movement and touch helps operators bring human dexterity to robotic manipulation. MANUS gloves are proven across more than 50 robotic hand models and supported in NVIDIA Isaac Teleop, helping teams collect the high-fidelity data humanoids need to learn tasks that depend on precise contact with objects.
“We’ve spent 12 years figuring out how to translate the human hand into reliable, consistent and accurate data, so it’s amazing to see our work recognized as groundbreaking. The road to building something unique and valued is very hard, and receiving this praise from the industry is thoroughly heartwarming. We are nowhere near done with our vision, and the coming year will be especially exciting.”
— Stephan van den Brink, Co-Founder & CEO at MANUS
This award recognizes years of work by our team and the collaboration of customers and partners putting our technology to use. Thank you to Humanoid Robotics Technology and everyone who has supported us along the way. We look forward to continuing our work to translate human dexterity into robot capability.
