PRISM: robots that decide with more than one sense
Force, speed, contact, friction, joint angle — combined, not one at a time.
PRISM is a control system for robots, focused on handling physical contact better. It takes the robot's common sensor readings, images and instructions, and returns movement actions.
The core idea is a conceptual course correction: a robot's action shouldn't depend on a single isolated measurement.
Why this matters
- Object manipulation is where robots fail the most, and that's exactly what this system targets.

The microcourse
1.The problem of looking at a single signal
2 minThe actions the robot takes shouldn't depend on a single metric. They should come from different measurements — force, speed, contact, friction, joint angle, and so on.
Think of picking up a glass. Position alone isn't enough: you need to know how much force is being applied, whether the glass is slipping, and at what angle the hand is. A controller that optimizes a single isolated measure breaks the glass or drops it.
PRISM examines the combinations of these signals to decide the action — and it's that combination, not a new sensor, that produces the gain.

You're looking at the tool's profile — what it is and what it doesn't do. The step-by-step, selection criteria, and what to do with it are in the microcourse, and the full microcourse is from Expert.

How we verified
We track releases straight from primary sources, transcribe what's demonstrated, verify every name and number against the manufacturer's official documentation, and rewrite it in Portuguese — along with the tool's limitations, which is the part the announcement leaves out.
