On that I go back to TacnIQ which I posted about previously and hope they are moving forward with their product.
They designed around Loihi (which we know is not commercial yet) and Akida.
Our Tac-01 sensors are ideal for a wide range of use cases, from raw data collection to higher order tactile interpretations.

This novel sensor can detect touch more than 1,000 times faster than the human sensory nervous system and identify the shape, texture and hardness of objects 10 times faster than the blink of an eye.
To break new ground in robotic perception, we are exploring neuromorphic technology – an area of computing that emulates the neural structure and operation of the human brain – to process sensory data from ACES.
We are developing sensory integrated artificial brain system that mimics biological neural networks, which can run on a power-efficient neuromorphic processor, such as Intel’s Loihi chip and
Brainchip’s Akida neural processor. This novel system integrates ACES and vision sensors, equipping robots with the ability to draw accurate conclusions about the objects they are grasping based on the
data captured by the sensors in real-time - while operating at a power level efficient enough to be deployed directly inside the robot.
