Technology

Touch that understands intent.

Our soft, multi-layer sensor enables robots to interpret human touch with unprecedented accuracy and nuance.

Three-layer biomimetic structure

Inspired by human skin and engineered for robots. Each layer has a specific role. Together they deliver stable, human-like touch perception.

Epidermis

Epidermis

The surface you touch. A soft, durable outer layer tuned for the right feel and finish, with customizable textures, pigments, and compliance.

Dermis

Dermis

Where touch becomes data. A high-density capacitive sensor grid that captures contact with fine spatial detail, enabling multi-touch, pressure mapping, and gesture dynamics.

Hypodermis

Hypodermis

Depth, stability, control. A compliant mechanical layer that spreads pressure and decouples forces, improving measurement stability and making touch feel more natural, especially on curved shells.

Realistic Skin
Textile
Smooth Matte

Surface finishes for
every application.

Textured, pigmented silicone matching human skin tones. Includes fingerprints, pores, and hair follicle detail for humanoid applications.

The surface finish of the sensor define how contact moves across the skin, including feel, friction, and compliance. Our technology then captures that interaction at high spatial resolution, translating pressure and motion patterns into clean tactile signals.

That stable signal is the foundation the intent processing depends on. With consistent input, we can reliably segment touch episodes and recognize patterns in time and space, rather than reacting to noise or material artifacts. The result is a stream of actionable events your robot can use, from gesture primitives to higher-level intent cues.

Advanced algorithms that turns touch into meaning.

It's not just about feeling contact. It's about understanding the meaning behind every gesture. Our pipeline converts rich tactile signals into meaningful interaction events, transforming raw sensor data into actionable insights your robots can understand.

Step 01

Sense contact

The skin captures where pressure lands and how strongly the surface is being engaged.

Step 02

Stabilize signal

The raw stream is cleaned, windowed, and encoded so noisy contact stops looking like intent.

Step 03

Dispatch intent

The model emits a compact event the robot can trust, complete with a live confidence score.

Trained on real touch.

Our system learns from recorded human interactions and is validated on robots so it stays reliable outside the lab. It is designed to reduce false triggers and remain stable across different people, contexts, and surface conditions.

End-to-end SDK

Integrate tactile sensing into your robotics platform with real-time touch data streams, gesture event callbacks, and AI-powered intent recognition.
