Product highlights

Sense every moment of contact

Event-driven output

Data is generated when markers change, without requiring an external compute box or additional cooling structure.

Dynamic contact sensing

Capture rapid contact and dynamic changes to inform precise manipulation.

Compact wedge design

A bottom mounting base supports integration into robotic fingertips and grippers.

Type-C connectivity

Power and data share a single connector for a simpler hardware connection.

Replaceable contact layer

Replace the contact material independently when worn, then complete the required checks and calibration.
