About JQ Industries
JQ Industries builds sensing into conductive fibres during weaving, producing pressure-sensitive textiles that remain flexible and breathable. Arrays and signal-processing software translate contact measurements into information about pressure distribution, posture and interaction. The material can be incorporated into gloves, robot coverings, seats and mattresses.
Its robotics offering includes tactile gloves, foot-pressure sensors and custom electronic skin. These supply feedback for grasping, balance and contact monitoring, with collected tactile data also supporting simulation and model training. JQ applies the same material and data platform across robotics, elder-care monitoring and automotive seating, adapting the textile shape and analysis to the host product.
