Company to display wide range of new tactile sensor capabilities

WHO:

XELA Robotics, a specialist in advanced 3D tactile sensors providing robots with a human sense of touch

WHAT:
The company will unveil several new major tactile sensor enhancements to its advanced uSkin® sensor technology for humanoid, robotic hands and grippers including the first ever robotic fingertips with sensitive nails for the precision grasping of very thin objects.

WHERE:
Chicago's McCormick Place, Humanoid Robot Pavilion, Booth 1888

WHEN:
Automate Exhibition Hours: June 22-24, 10am-5pm; and June 25, 10am-3pm

DETAILS:
XELA Robotics is focused on solving the problem of making robot hands as nimble and dexterous as human hands by providing them with a human sense of touch - a challenge which has limited the usefulness of humanoid and industrial robots in many applications.

In its show booth, XELA Robotics will provide several demonstrations of its cutting-edge technology including:
• an industry first six-axis, force-sensitive robotic fingertip with nail to enable the dexterous grasping of extremely thin objects including thin cards and keys and the conducting of actions as complex as scraping tape off a surface
• enhanced delicate grasping capabilities for its uSkin tactile sensors enabling the grasping and manipulating of extremely fragile objects. Visitors to XELA Robotics booth can participate in a cutting-edge pick-and-place demo involving a paper origami crane and a quail egg.

Its proprietary uSkin high-density three-axis tactiles sensors are compact and provide a spatial density that allows robots to understand how tightly they are gripping an object, as well as how it moves within their grasp. Built from a flexible elastomer, they conform to different object shapes, grippers and robot hands and can be customized to meet specific application needs across markets as diverse as manufacturing, logistics, warehousing and agriculture. The company's hardware and software solutions enable an advanced sense of touch in robots used in research labs and with industrial and commercial clients.
