About Touchlab Robotics
Touchlab Robotics develops flexible electronic skin that gives robots distributed tactile feedback. Sensor surfaces measure contact location and force across grippers, hands, arms or larger body areas, helping a control system detect touch and regulate interaction with people and objects.
The company supplies sensor hardware, signal electronics and integration software for manipulation, teleoperation and human-robot collaboration. Engineers can apply the skin to existing platforms and combine its data with vision and joint sensing. Touchlab focuses on the tactile layer while robot partners provide motion, grasp planning and application-specific safety controls.
