Tactile Sensors for Robot Grippers

Robots can do an extremely large number of tasks. They can complete lighter tasks such as manipulating electronics or handling heavier weighted objects, such as cars. One of the weaknesses of all robots is generally their sensitivity. In fact, no robot nor robotic gripper can detect what it is handling. For sure they can have feedback, such as current in the motor or force being applied on a certain surface, but in any case they can’t feel what they are handling. This is what TakkTile is working on. They have developed a technology to provide a sense of touch to the robot gripper at a low price.
