T-Scan™ provides dentists with digital bite force data, helping to analyze the occlusion of a...

Quantify Grip Forces with FlexiForce™ Accurate grip measurement has become increasingly important in today’s world of continued ergonomic improvement and robotic grip applications. Historically, there have been limitations with grip measurement. Load cells are expensive and bulky; pressure films...

Tactile Feedback in Surgical Applications In recent years, robots have become an increasingly viable part of minimally invasive surgery. They offer improved range of motion in laparoscopic techniques. The drawback has been that robots have lacked the sense of touch, or haptic feedback, that is so...

FlexiForce™ Sensors Enhance Robotic Surgery Due to advances in biomedical engineering, robotic surgery has become increasingly popular. One significant disadvantage of robotic surgery; however, is the lack of haptic technology and inability to provide force feedback to the surgeon. Because many...

How does the right force sensor improve robot design? Robots in any industry, from consumer devices to manufacturing applications, must be able to sense whether or not a contact has been made, and/or how much force occurs during a given action. Force Sensing is Vital to Proper Balance Humanoid...
