Monitoring hand dynamics
Whether navigating a virtual interface with your hands or training a robot to touch and grab like a human, industries are struggling to measure the nuance of physical touch.
We are building a brand new foundational hardware and data pipeline that maps the human hand for training robots.

Mechanical reality
Mechanical reality
Most systems that track hand mechanics rely on external visual tracking or faint surface electrical signals. Fether Labs takes a simpler, more reliable approach: It captures mechanical reality.
Most gesture-control systems try to ‘see’ what you are doing from the outside or ‘listen’ to faint electrical signals from your skin. FetherLabs does something simpler and more reliable:
It captures the mechanical reality.
The Physical Trigger
Every finger movement, grip, or gesture begins with the contraction of muscles in the forearm. This pulls on tendons that pass through your wrist like cables in a pulley system.
MECHANOTENDOGRAPHY
Our proprietary sensors sit on the wrist, measuring the displacement and mechanical pressure of the tendons in real-time.

from foundational research to pilot applications.
Fether Labs is currently an early-stage startup lab in a period of rapid, iterative development.
While our core technology is already proving its ability to translate tendon dynamics into digital output, we are actively moving from foundational research into real-world pilot applications.
We invite visionary collaborators to join us in scaling this technology to its full potential.
