Touch & tactile intelligence

Interpret force, pressure, slip, and texture to continuously refine grasps and physical interactions.

PROBLEM

Feel every contact.

Vision cannot reliably reveal grasp stability, contact force, slip, compliance, or the condition of an object after contact.

Sensor inputs

TactileForce / torqueContact state

TARGET WORKFLOWS

  • Closed-loop grasp correction
  • Delicate manipulation
  • Contact-rich assembly and inspection

INTEGRATION CONSIDERATIONS

  • Tactile arrays
  • Force-torque sensors
  • Instrumented grippers

CURRENT LIMITATIONS

Tactile hardware differs substantially across embodiments and requires calibration, safety limits, and task-specific data.
