Problem

Chemical labs are filled with delicate and oddly shaped items that require precise and compliant handling.

Approach

Researchers at A.I.R Lab at the University of Waterloo developed a thin, flexible, tactile force sensor.

I'm designing custom end effectors for the TIAGo Pro Humanoid that use compressive interfaces for object form compliance, integrated with tactile force sensors and Intel RealSense D405 depth camera.

Results
