MIT CSAIL evaluates actuated-neck dexterous teleoperation
MIT CSAIL demonstrated an actuated-neck teleoperation setup with a PSYONIC Ability Hand.
Why it matters
MIT CSAIL used MANUS gloves to control a PSYONIC Ability Hand in an actuated-neck teleoperation study spanning seven tasks and more than 360 demonstrations.

Evidence notes
- MANUS gloves supplied the operator hand-control input for the Ability Hand.
- The study covered seven tasks and more than 360 demonstrations.
Company context
PSYONIC develops advanced robotic hand hardware centered on the Ability Hand, a high-speed multi-articulating hand with integrated touch sensing. While the company has a strong prosthetics market presence, its hardware is also used in robotics, embodied AI, and manipulation-training workflows. That makes its robotics relevance clearest at the finished hand / end-effector layer rather than as a full robot builder.
