About 6thSense
6thSense captures manipulation demonstrations through wearable tactile sensors, cameras and body or hand tracking while synchronising them with robot-side measurements. A single session can therefore preserve contact force, image streams, depth, pose, motion and inertial information rather than reducing a task to video alone.
The company calibrates and structures these streams into model-ready datasets for imitation learning, evaluation and policy development. Its delivery model includes capture hardware, synchronisation software and custom collection programmes, allowing robotics teams to acquire task-specific multimodal data without assembling and time-aligning the sensing stack themselves.
