OmniTact

Brief Description

OmniTact was founded to commercialize a robotic manipulation sensor designed by researchers at UC Berkeley. The sensor uses micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations of a gel-based skin. It is designed to be used as a fingertip for robotic manipulation with robotic hands, and uses multiple micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations. This provides a rich signal from which a variety of different contact state variables can be inferred using modern image processing and computer vision methods.
