About Graspian
Graspian was founded to add a usable sense of touch to industrial robot gripping. Its tools measure contact and gripping forces at the fingers, supporting objects that are fragile, deformable or not positioned precisely enough for fixed-force handling.
The portfolio includes an intelligent tactile gripper, a parallel gripper and application-specific tooling. Its differentiation sits in the end effector and sensing-control package, not in a complete robot arm.

Timeline
Events
- 2024-06-24 - Product Launch - Graspian launches Intelligent Tactile Gripper
A tactile sensor in each finger detects an object's shape, location and orientation. The gripper can identify slippage, dropped items and misplacements during handling. The launch expanded Graspian's proprietary robotic tooling for fragile, soft and uncertain objects.
