Tactile Sensors for Robotic Gripper



On the Robotiq Adaptive Gripper, you can control the overall force that you apply on a part. You can also detect that a finger has hit a part and that a grip is complete. For most applications, these features are sufficient to have proper control on a part, making sure is it grasped and not damaged. But for some research and even industrial applications, it might be desirable to add tactile sensors to the gripper.
