Brighter Signals
"The Future of Touch"
Amsterdam startup turning fabrics into high-depth tactile sensors that let machines and robots measure touch like humans for automotive, healthcare and.
Brighter Signals B.V. is an Amsterdam-based technology company developing High-Depth Signals tactile perception sensors that transform fabrics into pressure- and touch-sensing surfaces for machines, robots, and everyday objects. The company's patented approach is designed to let intelligent machines and robots measure touch the way humans do, accurately, instantly, and contextually, addressing what it describes as a long-standing gap in which existing pressure-sensing technologies have been too error-prone, too expensive for mass adoption, or both. By converting textiles into tactile sensors, Brighter Signals aims to turn ordinary objects and surfaces into intelligent interfaces that can detect states such as sitting, sleeping, or breathing, and react to changes in their environment. The company targets three primary markets: automotive, where its sensors are positioned to enhance occupant safety and comfort through seat- and surface-based sensing; healthcare, where tactile data can improve medical monitoring and outcomes; and robotics, where the goal is to replicate human touch to make robots safer and more capable in physical interaction.
It also points to broader applications across homes, retail stores, and factories where surfaces could sense changes and provide actionable data. Brighter Signals is led by a multidisciplinary founding team, including CEO and Co-Founder Andrew Klein and COO and Co-Founder Christine Fraser, united around a mission of making electronics more human and pioneering a new wave in tactile sensing. The company offers a technology white paper and works with a network of trusted suppliers as it advances its sensing technology toward commercial adoption.
