Tac-01 Sensors | TacniQ
Our Tac-01 sensors are ideal for a wide range of use cases, from raw data collection to higher order tactile interpretations.tacniq.ai
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.
Copy from a german forum…hadnt heared of it
Interesting that Prophesee & NeuTouch pictured.
And they mention: We are expecting our first shipments of Tac-01 sensors in early 2022.
And Prophesee is linked to NeuTouch.
According to report by EETimes, the new tactile sensor they used, NeuTouch, consists of an array of 39 taxels (tactile pixels) and the movement is transduced using a graphene-based piezo-resistive layer; you can think of this as the front of the robot’s fingertip.
It’s covered with a protective Ecoflex layer that helps to amplify the stimuli, and is supported by 3-D printed “bone”. The fingertips can then be added to grippers.
Similar to how the independent pixels in Prophesee’s Metavision sensor collect data from changes in the environment, the NeuTouch fingertips process tactile spikes. The use of neuromorphic technology results in high performance and low power consumption, allowing automation systems to touch and see.
Neuromorphic Vision For Enhanced Robotics Capabilities
Researchers at National University of Singapore combined neuromorphic vision and touch to help robots grip and identify objects.
