Ras Labs

Ras Labs develops electroactive-polymer tactile sensors for robot grippers, end effectors and dexterous hands. Its fingertip system combines touch sensing with compliant material, and the company reports more than 20 million test cycles plus sensitivity to 0.05 newtons over a one-square-millimetre area. The hardware supports ROS and ROS 2 integration and is being developed for cobots, industrial manipulators and humanoids.
