…Inc. said it has developed haptic intelligence for manipulation tasks that were previously difficult to automate, such as packing, machine tending, and autobagging. Smarter and more dexterous robots sound great, but how can the majority of warehouses, which are not yet automated, get started with them? Robotics 24/7 chatted with Dr. Bernard Casse, founder and CEO of RIOS, about rethinking…

…for surgical robotics, end effectors, haptic devices, small joints, and other compact robotics applications. The series features two versions: The Denali XCR, a miniature, ready-to-use version, enabling quick installation and system commissioning The Denali NET, an ultra-compact, high-power density version. This pluggable design is optimal for a carrier board, with single or multi-axis integration, said Celera. Both versions are available…

…precision, reliability McMillen came into haptic sensing through music. “We started working with musical instruments and fabric sensors 14 years ago,” he said. “I wanted to make a sensor violin bow for the Kronus Quartet, and it needed a cylindrical grip so musicians could tell what they're doing.” “Four years later, it was stabilized with 80 dB of dynamic range,…

…Redmond, Wash.-based company is developing haptic gloves and sensors for virtual reality, robotic teleoperation, and other applications. HaptX claimed that its technology “simulates touch sensation with unprecedented realism.” Unlike other haptic gloves, which are limited to vibration and force feedback, HaptX Gloves physically displace the user's skin the way a real object would, said the company. More than 130 points…

…were built to understand human haptics. Factory operators can teach a mobile robot the layout of a facility by walking it around the location. Agarwal compared it to walking around a grocery store with a shopping cart (see video below). Once in operation, workers can also easily redirect the robot's path while in motion by placing their hands on the…

…intuitively. Sarcos is working on haptic actuators, sensing and data capabilities, and its own motion-capture suit. “Operators can become familiar with the XT in minutes,” said Jim Cory, principal product engineer at Sarcos. “Learning to use it is orders of magnitude less difficult than learning the task itself. We're not training roboticists; it's just a tool.” RE2 Robotics gives Sarcos…

…advanced touch sensors and next-generation haptic feedback to provide robot operators with the last link in terms of robotic perception capabilities—the ability to ‘feel’ objects in the environment,” said Dr. Adam Brant, project manager at Sarcos. “This will enable EOD personnel to locate, sense, and interact with objects they both can and cannot visualize from a remote, safe distance.” STARFISH…
