As the demand for smart, collaborative robots (cobots) surges, one major hurdle remains: giving machines human-level sensitivity without bulky equipment. This insightful Q&A with the leadership of ForceN explores how we’re solving this problem to usher in the third wave of robotics.
“Typically, companies which use a lot of robots would use a lot of sensors. And they constantly need to detect force, because if the robot experiences too much force, it will break…The trend is, those robots are pushed to work harder and harder.”
CEO Robert Brooks and VP of Engineering Albert Chen detail their breakthrough: paper-thin, flexible force sensors paired with an edge-computing module the size of a fingernail. Read more here!
