ABB and PSYONIC use GoFa cobots and human-generated data to test PSYONIC's Ability Hand

ABB Robotics/Industrial robots and cobots

ABB and PSYONIC paired ABB's GoFa collaborative arm with PSYONIC's Ability Hand, a touch-sensing prosthetic, using grasping data from human prosthesis users to teach robots delicate manipulation. The collaboration targets automotive, aerospace, packaging, logistics and life sciences work hard to automate, aiming to reduce engineering time by up to 30%.

• Uses same Ability Hand on people and robots to capture high-fidelity real-world movement, contact and grip force data.
• GoFa executes subtle variations in grip force and finger positioning; real human data improves robot precision.
• Targets delicate tasks: irregular or fragile object handling across automotive, aerospace, packaging, logistics, life sciences.
• Collaboration claims up to 30% reduction in engineering time for handling tasks previously difficult to automate.
