Applications
Medical &
Surgical
Precision force-torque sensing for surgical robotics, rehabilitation devices, and medical instrument testing.
Challenge
Sensing at Tissue Scale
Surgical robots and rehabilitation devices interact with human tissue where force magnitudes are small and the consequences of excessive force are severe. Accurate, low-noise measurement is essential for haptic feedback, force limiting, and procedure validation.
Solution
High-Resolution 6-Axis Feedback
AXIOM sensors provide the resolution needed to distinguish between tissue contact, instrument deflection, and operator intent. Low noise floors and high output rates support both real-time control and post-procedure analysis.
Key Capabilities
Haptic Feedback
Low-latency force data for rendering tissue interaction forces back to the surgeon.
Force Limiting
Real-time force thresholds prevent excessive tissue loading during automated procedures.
Instrument Testing
Characterize insertion forces, grip strength, and actuation loads for instrument validation.
Rehabilitation
Measure patient interaction forces in exoskeletons and therapy robots for adaptive assistance.
Low Noise
Sub-50 mN noise floors enable detection of subtle contact transitions in delicate procedures.
Compact Form Factor
Small, lightweight sensors that integrate into space-constrained medical device architectures.
