Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (VPG) will showcase its custom force and torque sensing solutions for humanoid robotics at RoboBusiness 2026. As humanoid robots transition from research environments to practical applications in factories and homes, the need for precise real-time feedback is paramount for their effective operation in unpredictable settings.
The significance of VPG's innovations lies in their ability to enhance the performance and safety of humanoid robots. These robots require accurate physical measurements to control various parameters such as joint torque and grip strength, especially when interacting closely with humans. VPG's sensors are designed to be integrated into the robot's structure, overcoming the limitations of standard off-the-shelf components that often hinder design flexibility and accuracy.
Looking ahead, VPG's focus on custom strain gage-based solutions will be critical in advancing humanoid robot capabilities. Their offerings, including miniature tactile force sensors and multi-axis force sensors, are essential for achieving the high-speed feedback necessary for delicate tasks. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
