  • Ras Labs placed its tactile-sensing technology at four customer trial sites and incorporated feedback into product development.
  • Sensors embedded in electroactive polymer detect object shape, size and density to improve rigid-gripper handling of fragile items.
  • The company added support for pneumatic and electric grippers, targeting variable picking with fewer tool changes.

Ras Labs develops compliant tactile-sensing components and control hardware for robotic manipulation.
