TacTip products

A new dimension of touch. From fingertips to complete hands.

World-leading optoelectronic tactile sensors, built around a shared sensing principle and adapted to different contact tasks. Touch is not merely pressure: it is a composite signal carrying multiple dimensions of perception.

Product range

Fingertip

TacTip Optoelectronic Tactile Fingertip

A compliant contact surface and internal feature structure turn small deformations into optoelectronic tactile observations. Combined with tracking and interpretation software, the fingertip supports analysis of contact geometry, tangential changes, slip and texture cues.

Delivery approach

Define the research task and experimental fixture first. Agree the module combination, software workflow and handover material before delivery.

Dexterous system

ARIA Tactile Dexterous Hand

ARIA is a system integration and validation platform for tactile dexterous manipulation. Its hybrid-drive direction combines hand mechanics, tactile sensing, wiring, calibration and feedback workflows so embodied-AI teams can study the complete contact-to-action loop.

Tactile fingertip integrationHand mechanics and sensing as one systemFeedback-oriented manipulation studies

Designed for

Dexterous manipulation research, embodied-AI evaluation, hand-system integration and application pilots.

Product & integration parameters

System direction: Hybrid-drive tactile dexterous-hand platform
Tactile integration: Integrated optoelectronic tactile sensing modules
Integration scope: Mechanics, wiring, sensing, calibration and feedback
Hand configuration: Actuation and sensing configuration agreed per project
System interfaces: Defined with the host robot and control workflow

Delivery approach

Begin with a system-level technical review. Confirm the hand configuration, tactile integration and validation tasks before a pilot or custom system programme.

Select with the task in mind

Specify the contact. Then specify the sensor.

Dimensions, sampling configuration, calibrated range, communication interfaces and kit contents are confirmed for each selected product configuration. Selection brings the contact task, system interfaces and acceptance criteria together.

From evaluation to deployment

A practical route to tactile integration.

Our sales and delivery plan follows the maturity of the application, from a focused evaluation to repeatable integration and project-specific production.

Research evaluation

Define the contact task, select a fingertip or research kit, and establish the sensing and data workflow.

Integration pilot

Match mechanics and interfaces to the target robot, then assess calibration, handling and application behaviour.

Custom deployment

Agree the product configuration, acceptance criteria, quantity, support and delivery schedule for the programme.

Product configuration, pricing and lead time are confirmed in the project proposal. Enquiries are welcome for research evaluation and integration planning.
