About Axonnic

Axonnic is building the missing data layer for dexterous robotics. Our wearable EMG technology captures human intent, effort and force directly from muscle activity as people demonstrate physical tasks. By revealing the physical signals that video cannot capture, Axonnic gives AI models the data they need to learn more precise and dexterous behaviour. Beyond robotics, this creates a foundation for new forms of human–computer interaction in which technology can understand and respond directly to human movement and intent.
