At Touchlab, our Design Principles guide the ongoing development of durable tactile sensors built to meet and exceed human capabilities for telerobotic and autonomous applications. A key focus is creating a solution that is not only high-performing but also offers a long lifespan and unparalleled durability with an endless amount of contact cycles. This means when you use our sensors, you can trust that the measured contact interactions that trained your AI models and te

Touchlab is leading a critical research effort in the £57M ARIA Robot Dexterity Programme. Learn how Principal Investigator Dr. Vasilis Mitrakos and our team are developing GRIT, a modular, quantum tunnelling-based e-skin, to finally give robots the human-like sense of touch they need to achieve full dexterity in challenging, real-world tasks.

The 11 Core Values Behind Touchlab's Sense of Touch Touchlab exists to give robots the sense of touch . This isn't just a technical challenge; it’s a design philosophy. Our mission to redefine what’s possible in robotics is built on a simple foundation: The 11 Tactile Robotics Design Principles. These principles are more than a rulebook—they are the core values that guide every decision, from the materials we select to the final form of our haptic sensors. They are how we en

At Touchlab Robotics, we believe the next frontier in robotics is the sense of touch . Our mission is to make this vision a reality by building a robust, open-source ecosystem that simplifies the integration of tactile sensors and electronic skin  into robot grippers and hands. Open-Source Drivers and Robot Models We're excited to release our open-source drivers and robot models for Touchlab's advanced tactile sensors . All of our code is available on GitHub , including our C
