What humans feel,

INTERACT ROBOTICS

Contact intelligence, taught by feel.

We capture the force, the touch, the skill behind every move.Then turn that experience into contact intelligence.

Overview

The next frontier for robotsis within touching distance.

Robots already do remarkable things. But pushing a connector home, tightening a fastener, or pressing parts into place takes more than vision. Force and touch do the work. We capture the forces and tactile cues skilled people rely on, so robots can learn to work where people work, with the skill those tasks demand.

Force and torque are recorded alongside the task to meet existing quality and safety requirements.

Before we talk haptics,we start with contact data.

Research with force and tactile data shows meaningful gains in contact tasks. The figures below reflect each paper’s specific experimental conditions.Today’s VLAs are rapidly improving precision and generalization. We aim to build on that progress with something more: a record of what people felt, and how they responded.Contact intelligence takes more than adding force and touch to a model. Public datasets alone cannot capture the full range of contact experiences in the field. We need to record what operators feel and how they respond, firsthand. We start with the technology to create that data.

How We Build

From human skill to robot intelligence.

  1. Start with experience.

    Dream Catcher captures skilled work in the real world. As operators move and work naturally, it records the force they apply and the touch they feel. Dream Set turns those records into training data for contact intelligence.

  2. One task. Then what’s next.

    We start with clearly defined tasks, such as connector assembly, and bring task-specific models into the field. Each deployment adds data. Each new dataset opens another setting. That cycle is our path toward a foundation model.

  3. Bring intelligence to the robots you have.

    We aim to work with existing robots and equipment. Starting with their control and sensor interfaces, we connect contact data to action policies, then extend what works to new parts and environments.
