Wearable Devices Ltd. (NASDAQ: WLDS) has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Cord Technologies Inc. ("Encord") to combine its wrist-based neural sensing technology with Encord's Physical AI data infrastructure and visual data capabilities. The partnership, led by Wearable Devices' Physical AI business unit Kavana, seeks to develop multimodal training datasets that integrate neuromuscular signals associated with hand and finger movements with visual information.
The company's Mudra Pro and Mudra Ultimate devices capture surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, which could complement camera-based data in situations where hands, fingers, or objects are partially obscured. This capability is particularly relevant for training Physical AI systems, such as robots, that need to understand and replicate human manipulation tasks in real-world environments.
The agreement establishes a commercial framework for Encord to purchase Wearable Devices' wrist-worn devices and use collected data to develop datasets for third-party Physical AI and robotics developers, subject to licensing and commercialization terms. Wearable Devices would receive revenue from device sales and usage-based compensation for qualifying data collection activities. The companies are already collaborating on data collection, testing, and integration, with plans to explore applications in humanoid robotics and advanced robotic manipulation. Future commercial activity will depend on customer demand and implementation of the collaboration.
This collaboration matters because it positions Wearable Devices at the intersection of two rapidly growing fields: wearable neural input technology and Physical AI. As robotics and AI systems increasingly require diverse, high-quality training data, the ability to capture nuanced human movement data—even when visual sensors are obstructed—could be a significant competitive advantage. For investors, the agreement offers a potential new revenue stream beyond the company's consumer products, leveraging its proprietary sensor technology for enterprise applications.
Wearable Devices is a growth company pioneering human-computer interaction through AI-powered neural input touchless technology. Its consumer products, the Mudra Band and Mudra Link, enable touch-free control of digital devices using gestures across multiple operating systems. The company operates through a dual-channel model of direct-to-consumer sales and enterprise licensing and collaborations. The newly launched ai6 Labs ecosystem accelerates its vision by integrating research, products, and AI breakthroughs. Wearable Devices' ordinary shares and warrants trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols "WLDS" and "WLDSW," respectively.
