This company is an innovative robotics startup known for its advanced tactile sensing technology. The company focuses on developing "vision-tactile" sensors that enable robots to mimic human touch, allowing near-human precision in handling and manipulating objects.
This is crucial for example when handling sensitive objects like thin glass or soft fruits, and unlocks new areas to automation that have severely struggled under labour shortage, but were lacking the right technology.
Despite the young age, their products are already used by major clients across food-processing, logistics and manufacturing.
On top of that, the company is now preparing to expand overseas, and is looking for a COO to head the Japan office.
