XELA Robotics is intensifying its commitment to the U.S. market with the introduction of two significant enhancements to its uSkin® sensor family, designed in response to feedback from its expanding American customer base. The announcement coincides with a strategic investment from Plug and Play, a leading innovation platform based in Silicon Valley, and the company's participation in the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston on May 27-28, 2026.
The first enhancement involves magnetic interference compensation, which effectively eliminates complex magnetic interference, crucial for handling metals in industrial settings. The second improvement introduces CAN FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate), a high-speed communication protocol that allows for more sensor modules to operate simultaneously without compromising data transfer rates. These advancements aim to enhance the performance of robotic applications, providing faster and more reliable measurements.
Alexander Schmitz, CEO of XELA Robotics, emphasized the importance of the U.S. market and stated that these enhancements directly address customer needs. The new sensors will be available for immediate ordering, with initial deliveries scheduled for May 2026, while the magnetic interference compensation feature is expected to launch in the third quarter of the year. XELA Robotics will showcase these innovations at the upcoming Robotics Summit & Expo and ICRA 2026 in Vienna, Austria, from June 1-5.
