About Aidin Robotics
Aidin Robotics develops force-aware sensing and handling components for collaborative, industrial and humanoid robots. Its range includes AFT200 and miniature six-axis force-torque sensors, ATSB joint-torque sensors, tactile sensors, sensor kits, SusGrip parallel grippers and robotic hands. Capacitance measurement and fringe-effect sensing enable compact, all-in-one devices that do not require a separate amplifier.
The sensors support force control, collision detection, direct teaching and tool-weight measurement through CAN, EtherCAT or Ethernet interfaces. Aidin also integrates its sensing, grippers, vision algorithms and motion controller into AIRO-One automation systems. These combine no-code task teaching with active force control for sanding, polishing and grinding, while a logistics configuration recognises previously unseen objects and selects suction or gripping strategies for picking.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-30 - Partnership - AIDIN Robotics joins Doosan-led on-device AI gripper programme
Doosan Robotics leads the project through December 2030, developing the cobot body and controller while Mobilint develops the AI semiconductor. AIDIN is developing two-finger and multi-finger grippers with embedded force/torque and tactile sensors, with safety tests supporting international certification work. A force/tactile data SDK will record and replay standardised training data, with logistics and manufacturing validation planned before commercialisation.

One robot recognised instruments by camera rather than fixed position and handed them to the surgeon on voice command, while the other held the endoscope using visual servoing to follow the surgeon's instrument movements and pulled tissue on request. The project is led by Samsung Seoul Hospital with the National Cancer Center, Jeonbuk National University Hospital, the industry-academic foundations of Seoul National University and Sungkyunkwan University, and companies including Rainbow Robotics, AIDIN Robotics and Ha Haeho. The work is at proof-of-concept stage roughly 15 months into a five-year programme building an operating-room assistant robot, an approach the team contrasts with console-based surgical robots.

HD Hyundai Robotics and Aidin will jointly develop a five-finger robotic hand for HD Hyundai’s humanoid platform. The collaboration also targets surface-treatment automation for shipbuilding and heavy-industry workflows. The financing closed on September 10 and HD Hyundai Robotics disclosed its investment on September 11.

The robots insert cushioning material into shipping boxes during packing. The live system combines ROBOTIS hardware, Aidin Robotics hands and RLWRLD robot foundation-model technology. CJ plans to extend the programme toward picking, sorting, inspection and additional packing work; those tasks remain planned rather than deployed.

AIRO-ONE pairs the Zivid 2+ MR60 with a six-axis force/torque sensor and seventh-axis linear guide for surface scanning and adaptive finishing-path generation. The camera captures detailed 3D data from complex and reflective metal surfaces, with sub-millimeter accuracy and acquisition times as low as 150 ms. AIDIN says the resulting system supports repeatable finishing with active force control and is being deployed by multiple manufacturing customers in South Korea.

The lineup included ultra-small 6-axis force/torque sensors, tactile sensors, 3-axis force sensors, and wrist force/torque sensors. Aidin planned demonstrations around humanoid robot hand sensing and teleoperation-based gripping. The company framed the exhibition around physical interaction sensors for humanoid robotics.
