Touchlab (private company)

Touchlab  is a smart wearables manufacturer from Scotland, producing low-profile tactile sensing skin, which can be wrapped around robots to sense pressure, location, and direction in real-time. The e-skin is thinner than human skin making it easily retrofittable without reducing the robot’s or gripper’s degrees of freedom (DoF). Machines fitted with Touchlab’s e-skin can now roll pens, grasp soft objects, and even detect slips.
