What should a gripper DO? GRIP! What should a gripper PREVENT? SLIP! A gripper that natively acts to prevent slip autonomously, solves a really big piece of the manipulation puzzle. Introducing our smart tactile-native gripper is powered by PapillArray #technology #robotics

A tactile sensor is a compass. The PapillArray is GPS and Google Maps!

The PapillArray is more than a tactile sensor. It tells the gripper exactly how much grip force is required to prevent slip in real-time. * No data processing required. * No model training required. * Closed-loop tactile feedback control on-board.

Our friends at ARENA2036 made this demo using our smart tactile-native gripper - the gripper holds the empty cup, waits until it is full then when it feels that a person is pulling on it, it releases the cup - a perfect hand-over. #innovation #technology #robotics

You're still not getting it. The GAL2 isn't a traditional gripper with sensors bolted on. Tactile control is built in — closed loop, real time, no reprogramming. Optimal grip force determined from live sensor feedback — applied to every object. Stop using it like it's 1995.

Our 3D Force Button Sensors are flying out the door! If you're building robotic hands and aren't thinking about integrating tactile sensing, you will be left behind. #humanoid #humanoids #humanoidrobot #humanoidrobotics #robotics

Luxury brands perform lifetime testing to ensure that opening and closing your expensive leather bag feels as good at 20 years old, as it did on the day you bought it. 👜 Our tactile gripper tested the forces required to remove/insert a stud at various stages of its lifetime.

The difference in these samples is quite astounding - the new stud required 20 N of shear force, while the oldest (most worn) stud only required about 2 N.

@ContactileInc has been working with @Flinders Factory of the Future to showcase our smart tactile grippers to industry. Here is another demo... bagging fresh produce - the gripper can handle a variety of vegetables as well as the bag itself! #innovation #technology #robotics

We've been working with @Flinders University Factory of the Future to showcase our smart tactile grippers to industry. Here is one of the demos that they put together... the audience were asked to plug in a cable to a port that the gripper had to hold onto. #robotics

Plugging cables into tight ports is a tricky task that vision systems alone often fail at. @mowito2 are using our smart tactile gripper to provide real-time force feedback to guide insertion. #innovation #technology #robotics youtube.com/watch?v=NY83y2i6…
