Firm to exhibit and exhibit its know-how at 2026 Shopper Electronics Present in Las Vegas
TOKYO, December 3, 2025 – XELA Robotics (www.xelarobotics.com), a specialist in superior 3D tactile sensor know-how, has efficiently built-in its uSkin® sensors right into a Tesollo DG-5F five-fingered anthropomorphic robotic hand – a well-liked mannequin able to human-level gripping and manipulation.
Industrial orders might be accepted starting within the late first quarter of 2026.
As well as, XELA Robotics’ 2026 know-how roadmap contains making its sensors smaller, sooner and smarter. An instance of this would be the discount in measurement of its sensing factors from about 4 mm x 4 mm to 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm permitting the addition of extra sensing factors than beforehand doable. The diminished measurement sensor factors might be obtainable for order within the second quarter of 2026.
“At the moment, many actions can’t be totally automated as a result of robots can not deal with objects as fastidiously and effectively as people do,” mentioned Alexander Schmitz, CEO, XELA Robotics. “Our uSkin tactile know-how delivers excessive efficiency sensing right down to 0.1 gram-force which supplies robots with a human sense of contact to allow them to really feel contact, strain and movement to carry out advanced duties with unprecedented precision.”
Tesollo Integration Expands Firm’s {Hardware} Agnostic Portfolio
XELA Robotics was tasked with growing an integration for the Tesollo DG-5F robotic hand on the request of a consumer.
A devoted workforce took on the problem and delivered an answer that enhances the capabilities of the present mannequin. The Tesollo DG-5F — a human-sized robotic hand with impartial joint management — already provided intuitive device use and exact object manipulation for analysis, industrial and repair robots. Now, by means of the mixing of XELA Robotics’ tactile sensors, the hand has gained a human-like sense of contact with out altering its authentic human-size kind issue.
The brand new sensor system covers the fingertips, phalanges and palm, and features a nail ingredient, permitting the hand to work together with objects much more exactly. Every fingertip options 12 sensing factors inside a compact kind issue (21.15 mm top × 25.72 mm width × 22.02 mm size). The combination was accomplished and shipped within the fourth quarter of 2025.
It joins a spread of integrations for different robotic firms and their palms and grippers together with Wonik Robotics, Sake Robotics, Weiss Robotics and Robotiq – permitting prospects to make the most of their pre-existing, most well-liked {hardware}.
‘Human Contact’ Sensors Allow Execution of Complicated Duties
The upcoming 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm sensing factors will present the next spatial density in comparison with the corporate’s earlier sensing factors. The household of uSkin sensors permits robots to grasp how tightly they’re gripping an object, in addition to the way it strikes inside their grasp. Constructed from a versatile elastomer, they conform to completely different object shapes, grippers and robotic palms and will be custom-made to fulfill particular software wants.
The corporate’s proprietary high-density three-axis tactile sensors deal with the fast-growing marketplace for humanoid and industrial robotic palms and grippers in a broad vary of functions together with manufacturing, logistics, warehousing and agriculture. XELA Robotics’ {hardware} and software program answer already permits a sophisticated sense of contact to robots utilized in analysis labs and by industrial and industrial purchasers.
Sturdy and extremely cost-effective, the brand new uSkin sensors are designed to combine seamlessly into parallel grippers, multi-finger adaptive grippers, customized end-effectors or robotic palms together with people who prospects might have already got in place. This enormously reduces the engineering necessities, danger and value usually related to including superior tactile sensing to current methods.
XELA Robotics will show and exhibit its uSkin sensor know-how on the upcoming 2026 Shopper Electronics Present (CES) in Las Vegas (January 6 – 9, 2026) within the North Corridor of the Las Vegas Conference Heart, sales space 8500. To schedule a gathering and demonstration, or for extra data, contact gross sales@xelarobotics.com.
