Why Touch Matters?
While vision helps a robot find an object, touch helps it manipulate it. Without tactile feedback, a robot blindly crushing an egg or dropping a heavy tool. Tactile sensing closes the loop on physical interaction.
Force Control
Regulating the amount of force applied to polish surfaces, assemble parts, or safely shake a human's hand.
Slip Detection
Sensing micro-vibrations to detect when an object is starting to slip, allowing the grip to tighten instantly.
