MANUS

A Dutch data-glove maker whose Metagloves are widely used for dexterous-manipulation data capture and teleoperation.

MANUS is a Dutch company founded in 2014, headquartered in Eindhoven; it started out making VR gloves (formerly known as Manus VR) before shifting to high-precision hand motion capture. Its main products include the Quantum Metagloves (2022), which use electromagnetic tracking on the fingers, the Metagloves Pro (2024), the haptic-feedback Metagloves Pro Haptic (2025), and the modular MANUS Nexus glove system. The company says its products are used by more than 2,000 robotics companies, AI labs, and motion-capture studios. In embodied AI, it is commonly paired with a VR headset for teleoperating a dexterous hand, retargeting the angles of a human hand's joints into robot commands to collect data. Note that it is a different product from the AI agent product also named Manus.

ExampleByteDance's GR-Dexter used a Meta Quest headset together with MANUS data gloves for two-handed teleoperation, collecting training data for a dexterous hand.
