The Shadow Robot Company - Robotics CompanyThe Shadow Robot Company is a London-based engineering outfit that develops cutting edge humanoid Robot Technologies. They are known for their advanced robotics and components, most notable the Air Muscle and the Shadow Dexterous Hand, a robot hand that has all the features of a human hand.
In 1997, the company was founded by a group of independent robotics researchers who had developed the Air Muscle a few years before.
The leading project is the Shadow Dexterous Hand. The first versions were completed in 2000. Since then the company has continued to improve the design of the hand and claim that it has become one of the most advanced robotic hands available. The touch sensors, also developed by The Shadow Robot Company, add to the tactile capabilities of the hand, making it even more 'human'.
Other projects have included several that explored the interface between humans and robots, such as prototype exoskeletal design as well as the development of passive motion exercising machines.
The company is also involved in performance projects in collaboration with the School of Performance and Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds.
