SENSODRIVE Timeline

Events

• 2026-03-24 - Partnership - SENSODRIVE and TUM develop torque-controlled continuum robot - The experimental system uses a flexible backbone and tendon actuation whose output forces are measured and controlled through SensoJoint drives. Direct output-torque measurement lets the team account for gear friction and validate model and observer… - source: sensodrive.de
• 2025-12-01 - Demonstration - SENSODRIVE powers open TRX7 dual-arm research cobot - The LIRMM/CNRS-led project is funded by France's Equipex+ TIRREX programme and uses an open modular architecture for human-robot interaction research. Alted used 14 SensoJoints in four sizes to provide force measurement, torque and impedance control… - source: sensodrive.de
• 2025-04-22 - Partnership - SENSODRIVE supplies eight SensoJoints for SeaClear2.0 gripper - The gripper was designed for autonomous litter collection at depths of up to 100 metres. Real-time torque feedback adjusts grip to the shape, texture and consistency of the object being collected. The articulated drive configuration can grip and transport… - source: sensodrive.de
• 2025-03-31 - Regulatory - SENSODRIVE secures SIL3/PLe safety certification for SensoJoint - The certification was received on 31 March 2025 after development testing and technical documentation review. The certified functions cover IEC 61508, IEC 62061, ISO 13849 and IEC 61800-5-2. The modules are designed to help cobot and medical-robot… - source: sensodrive.de
• 2024-12-05 - Capability - Sensodrive adds ROS 2 support for SensoJoint drives - RViz supports modelling and visualisation, Gazebo provides simulation, and MoveIt plans and controls cobot motion. The ROS 2–EtherCAT driver can transfer motion sequences tested in simulation to the cobot in real time. The package was developed with Slovak… - source: sensodrive.de
• 2024-10-14 - Award - SENSODRIVE wins a Bavaria Innovation Award for SensoJoint - Bavarian economics minister Hubert Aiwanger presented the award on 14 October 2024. SensoJoint packages the motor, gearing, torque sensing, controller, brake, encoder and bearing into one ready-to-install axis. The recognised system is intended for… - source: sensodrive.de
