Learn how tactile sensors can enable a gripper to apply the optimal grip force to hold any object and respond to dynamic loads. With this tactile feedback, the gripper will never grip too hard and break an item, nor will it grip insufficiently and drop an object. The gripper doesn’t even need prior knowledge of the object’s size, shape, weight, or packaging. The tactile sensors also enable complex robotic manipulation such as turning a handle and opening a door or inserting a USB cable. These tactile sensors could be the difference between a robot with the dexterity of a skilled person and a robot that is all thumbs. Come see for yourself how this crucial technology can help take robotic dexterity to the next level.
