The Xsens Link and the MANUS Metagloves operate in a single synchronised session in which whole-body and hand movements are captured simultaneously. This makes the combination equally valuable for teleoperation and human motion data collection: each training session provides complete motion data for the robot\u2019s AI without the need for two separate recordings. Similarly, the MANUS Metagloves can be integrated with Vicon systems to combine optical tracking with detailed finger tracking.<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(41,43,80,.15); margin: 32px 0;\"><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"zielgruppe\" style=\"color: #292b50; scroll-margin-top: 100px;\">Who is this aimed at?<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"color: #292b50; padding-left: 18px;\">\n<li>Manufacturers of humanoid robots (OEMs) who are setting up training infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Companies that develop Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) platforms<\/li>\n<li>Research institutions and universities specialising in embodied AI<\/li>\n<li>Companies with existing Vicon or Xsens infrastructure that wish to explore new areas of application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(41,43,80,.15); margin: 32px 0;\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"color: #292b50; margin-bottom: 20px;\">The services offered by prophysics<\/h2>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 260px; display: flex; gap: 12px; align-items: flex-start; background: #f8f7f4; padding: 16px 18px; border-radius: 8px;\"><span style=\"color: #e8581a; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1;\">\u2713<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #292b50; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;\">30 years\u2019 experience in the DACH region<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 260px; display: flex; gap: 12px; align-items: flex-start; background: #f8f7f4; padding: 16px 18px; border-radius: 8px;\"><span style=\"color: #e8581a; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1;\">\u2713<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #292b50; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;\">Official distributor: Vicon, Xsens, MANUS<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 260px; display: flex; gap: 12px; align-items: flex-start; background: #f8f7f4; padding: 16px 18px; border-radius: 8px;\"><span style=\"color: #e8581a; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1;\">\u2713<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #292b50; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;\">Full-body &#038; finger tracking, including combined tracking<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 260px; display: flex; gap: 12px; align-items: flex-start; background: #f8f7f4; padding: 16px 18px; border-radius: 8px;\"><span style=\"color: #e8581a; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1;\">\u2713<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #292b50; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;\">Personal advice \u2013 from A to Z<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 260px; display: flex; gap: 12px; align-items: flex-start; background: #f8f7f4; padding: 16px 18px; border-radius: 8px;\"><span style=\"color: #e8581a; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1;\">\u2713<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #292b50; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;\">Planning support<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #e2e6f0; padding: 28px 40px; margin: 40px 0 24px; display: flex; justify-content: flex-start; align-items: center; gap: 40px; flex-wrap: wrap;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 2; min-width: 300px;\">\n<h2 style=\"color: #292b50; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Experience it live at the Zurich showroom<\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #292b50; opacity: .85; max-width: 600px;\">Experience Xsens, MANUS and Vicon in action together \u2013 including a teleoperation demonstration with a robotic hand.
