uSkin®

uSPr DS

Designed for the various grippers (eg. Robotiq, Franka Emika, and more)

All-around sensing in compact and modular form factor.

Designed to fit various grippers, this 10.7 mm thick fingertip integrates the uSkin sensor on both the inner and outer surfaces. The other three sides can sense contacts via the shear forces in the neighboring sensing points. The outer layer can be replaced (different materials available) for long-term reliability, and the external and internal metal frames provides sturdy backing. Different adapters are available to ensure easy installation by screwing to various grippers. The microcontrollers are encapsulated, can also be installed via screwing, and are included in the set. Only one cable with four wires needs to be connected for the whole tactile sensing for one gripper (two uSPr DS, including microcontrollers).

The double sided sensing is useful, for example, for grasping objects from their interior surface (with the outer fingertip surface) or bin-picking, to detact collisions with surrounding objects. uSPr DS provides overall enhanced safety in robots with all-around sensing in the fingertips.
