the Human Sense of Touch
HIGH-DENSITY 3-AXIS TACTILE SENSING
The company was founded in August 2018 as a spin-out from Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.
We are a hardware and software company specialised in tactile sensing technology, established to provide the human sense of touch to robots.
In addition to providing our tactile sensors, XELA Robotics also specialises in integrating them into various robot hands and grippers.
The development of the uSkin Sensor is our primary focus. Our tactile sensors are capable of measuring 3-axis touch, which sets them apart from traditional sensors that only measure pressure.
These sensors can be customised to suit your specific application, providing robots with a human-like sense of touch. With this technology, robots can now grasp and manipulate objects with precision.
We are currently rolling out new features for our upcoming UAi Software and UAi App, which will provide an improved uSkin experience for our users.
The upcoming software solution features functions such as slip detection, grasp success prediction, tactile object recognition, and many more to benefit you.
In addition to providing tactile sensors, XELA Robotics also specialises in integrating them into various robot hands and grippers.
Because uSkin Sensors provide digital output, only minimal wiring is necessary to collect all sensor measurements. With our integrated solutions you can start collecting tactile data with your gripper immediately.

The uSkin sensor technology has the potential to open doors for many industries.
For example, the automation of picking orders in a warehouse environment remains a complex problem which has prevented warehouses from realising the piece-picking automation. Large warehouses contain millions of different products simultaneously, and these items must be stowed, stored, organised, and retrieved to fulfil a customer’s order.
By integrating uSkin sensors, companies could finally fully automate their warehouses. To see the full range of potential solutions, please visit our solutions page.
