Project
As robotics systems become increasingly sophisticated, robots are expected to handle a wider variety of tasks, objects, and environments with greater precision and adaptability. However, conventional force measurement systems often rely on limited sensing ranges that can become saturated when handling heavy loads.
Once these limits are reached, robots may struggle to accurately detect and manipulate lighter or more delicate objects, reducing their versatility and responsiveness. This limitation is particularly challenging in applications requiring both strength and precision, such as industrial automation, logistics, service robotics, or human-robot collaboration.
To overcome these constraints, robotics manufacturers are seeking new sensing technologies capable of providing continuous, highly sensitive force and deformation measurements across a much wider operating range. The objective is to create robots that can seamlessly adapt to different tasks, object shapes, and weight variations while maintaining consistent performance and safety.
Implementation
Nanomade transforms robotic structures into intelligent sensing surfaces through its ultra-sensitive deformation sensing technology. Its ultra-thin, flexible sensors adapt to complex geometries for seamless integration while preserving mechanical design and functionality of the system.
Thin and flexible, Nanomade sensors are designed for seamless integration into robotic joints, fingers, wrists, or elbows, even on complex surfaces. Their high-resolution sensing technology then enables continuous monitoring of structural deformations across a wide force range, from the slightest contact to high applied loads, without compromising measurement accuracy.
By measuring deformation directly within the robot structure, the sensors provide real-time information about contact forces, object handling, and environmental interactions.
Unlike conventional force sensing approaches, Nanomade technology delivers a broader sensing range while maintaining high sensitivity across the entire measurement spectrum.
The Nanomade Solution
Nanomade enables the development of next-generation robotic systems capable of adapting to a virtually unlimited range of force and deformation conditions.
Because Nanomade sensors are highly sensitive and flexible, they can detect a wide range of structural deformations generated by forces ranging from a few newtons to several tens of newtons, while maintaining high resolution and sensor density.
This capability allows robots to continuously adjust their behavior based on real-time physical interactions, whether handling fragile components, manipulating heavy objects, or navigating dynamic environments.
By turning robotic structures into sensing elements, Nanomade helps manufacturers create smarter, safer, and more versatile robots capable of meeting the demands of tomorrow’s automation challenges.
