Collaborative robots have reshaped automation by enabling a wide spectrum of new applications in different industries – but a significant dexterity gap still remains even with these robots. Manipulation of delicate, fragile, or brittle items is still out of reach for robots. Inspired by our human fingertips which provide unmatched dexterity, we have set out to reduce this gap by adding tactile sensing similar to the sensing in our fingertips to enable robotic manipulation of more delicate items. Introducing the Tactile Fingertip. Ras labs has combined material science innovation with data science and precision engineering to provide the first state of the art, Tactile Fingertip for robotic gripper fingers.Our sensor is based on our patented Electroactive Polymer which can be fabricated in many configurations. Both squishy and a level of firmness. Think our revolutionary technology could help your business? Send us a message. We'd love to chat!
