Q&A with Nicolas Olmedo, co-founder of Copperstone Technologies

Robotiq’s Force Torque Sensor was designed for assembly, product testing, precision part insertion and other industrial robotic applications. It can sense within the millimeter where something needs to be placed. Nicolas Olmedo has found an environment for the FT 150 far from the factory floor and is using it in ways our engineers never dreamed of: monitoring oil sands and mine tailing ponds.
