Applications
One touch skill, wherever things bend.
Every industry has its own cables, bags and foam. The physics of handling them is shared: a wire is a wire, film is film. Learn it once, by touch, and it applies across the floor.
- 1D · Wires, cables, hoses
- 2D · Bags, film, fabric
- 3D · Foam, pouches, soft goods
The matrix
Same classes of object, different floors.
Each cell is built from a few atomic tasks in our tactile task taxonomy (the numbers), so a skill learned for one industry carries to the others.

Where we start
Two applications, one technology.
- AI data centersEvery AI rack is still cabled by hand.Seat and verify cables, fiber and coolant quick-disconnects, with a force record for every connection.Explore
- Warehouse & fulfillmentThe picks that still go to people.Poly bags, soft goods, cords and kits: the items where pick-and-place automation breaks.Explore
How we work with you
From one task to a fleet.
Step 1
Find the task
We look at a task on your floor that still needs human hands, and map it to the touch skills it depends on.
Step 2
Pilot on your floor
A touch-aware robot works the task in your building, measured against the success criteria you set.
Step 3
Scale
Add robots as the task proves out. Every shift adds contact data that makes each robot better.
