Applications

Robots that only know their position will break the part, drop the object, or fail to notice a person in the way. Force and tactile sensing close that gap. Below are the four fields where our sensors are used.

Humanoid robots

Force sensors at the wrist and ankle for manipulation and balance, tactile sensors at the fingertips and across the body surface. Humanoid platforms are unforgiving about space and mass, which is where thin, light sensors matter most.

Industrial robots

Compliant assembly, polishing and grinding, hand guiding, collision detection. Force control lets an industrial arm feel the contact and adjust, rather than following a path blindly.

Medical robots

Rehabilitation devices, exoskeletons and physiotherapy equipment all work in direct contact with the human body. Measuring that contact force is what separates effective therapy from injury.

Research and embodied AI

Simulation approximates contact at best. Friction, deformation and slip have to be measured in the real world. We supply reconfigurable sensors and multimodal capture systems to robotics labs and embodied AI teams.

Beyond robotics

Our curved flexible tactile arrays also monitor impact loads on large structures, including offshore wind turbine foundations, where wave force distribution feeds fatigue life analysis.
