Robotics & Embodied AI
The hardware stack for robot learning and teleoperation
Gloves, motion capture, headsets, dexterous hands, grippers, arms and the data pipeline behind them — sourced, configured and deployed as one system. One partner, one purchase order, one team that answers the phone after delivery.
Start here
Three ways in
Most teams arrive at one of three points. Pick the one that sounds like you.
01
“We need demonstration data”
You have a policy to train and not enough episodes. You need a capture rig that produces clean, time-synced, retargetable data — and enough of them to run in parallel.
02
“We need a hand on this arm”
You have the robot. You need an end effector with the right DoF, the right bus, and — if you sell to government — the right country of origin.
03
“We need the whole thing to work”
Multiple vendors, one deadline, and nobody internally who wants to own integration. That is the part we do that a catalog cannot.
The stack
Every layer, and who supplies it
Teleoperation and robot learning are the same pipeline read in two directions. Each section below is one layer — and one page.
Layer 1 · Human input

MANUS is the official data glove of NVIDIA Isaac Lab & Isaac Teleop
Standardized retargeting, native low-latency streaming, and a direct policy-training pipeline into Isaac Lab. If your stack is NVIDIA, the glove decision is largely made for you — and we configure the rest of the rig around it.
How it works
From spec to running stack
Consult
Your use case, your robot platform, your timeline, and whether you sell to government — that last one changes which hands you can buy, so we ask it early.
Source
One purchase order across every vendor in the stack. Authorized pricing, coordinated lead times, and one freight consolidation instead of six.
Configure
Firmware, licences, adapters and pairing done in Glendale before it ships, so day one is a working session rather than a driver hunt.
Support
Knox XR Support+ for the lifecycle — RMA handling, replacement parts, and a named contact who already knows your configuration.
Robotics Demo Hub — coming soon in Glendale, CA
Try gloves, body capture and headsets in a working teleoperation setup at our Los Angeles facility, and leave with a configured plan and a same-day quote. Tell us you are interested through the form below and we will hold you a slot.
