Learn what this feature means, why it is essential, and how it is used across different humanoid robots.
A robot's sense of touch, which enables dexterous manipulation.
This capability fundamentally changes how a robot interacts with the world, enabling sophisticated functions such as "blind picking, slippage detection, and prevention of excessive force application". Sensors that provide a sense of touch, allowing for delicate object handling
Examples
Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot has integrated new tactile sensors that are sensitive to 5 millinewtons, a sensitivity approaching that of a human.
