6thSense (YC S26) builds wearable tactile sensing rigs that capture how human hands interact with the world across touch, vision, depth, force, and 3D hand pose, all in real environments. They sell that multimodal data to the companies training the next generation of dexterous robots. Robots are getting great at seeing the world. They're still terrible at touching it. The reason is data. There's an ocean of video to learn from, and almost nothing that captures what a hand actually feels - the pressure, the contact, the grip - while doing real tasks in real homes. The team at 6thSense built a wearable that captures exactly that. Every frame records what the hands see and feel: pressure across every finger, object contact, and 3D hand pose - in any kitchen, any hallway, anywhere. Not a lab. The real world. They believe this is the missing layer for teaching robots dexterity and master manipulation tasks. Congrats on the launch, James Baek, Matt Wulff, Ronak Agarwal, and Hyungwoo Noh! https://lnkd.in/gRzTRfAj
