XELA Robotics to Showcase Tactile Sensing Innovations at 2026 Robotics Summit

Robotics Summit">

["XELA Robotics Co. is set to unveil its latest advancements in tactile sensing technology at the 2026 Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston, with additional demonstrations scheduled for May and June. The company's showcase will feature new sensor hardware, software improvements, and expanded integrations with leading robotic platforms.

A highlight of the event will be a demonstration, developed in collaboration with Waseda University, showcasing a sensitive robotic nail capable of autonomously picking up a playing card as a learned skill, following a human demonstration.", '', "At the summit, XELA Robotics will exhibit its uSkin technology, which is hardware-agnostic and compatible with a wide range of robot hands and grippers. The company plans to demonstrate this versatility with the Tesollo and Allegro hands, as well as the Robotiq Hand-E and 2F grippers. Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to witness firsthand how easily XELA's technology integrates into complete robotic systems, from standalone patch sensors and individual fingertips to full robot arm demonstrations.", '', "Founded in 2018 and spun out from Waseda University, XELA Robotics is a Tokyo-based company with a team boasting over 70 years of combined research experience in robotics and tactile sensing.

The company's focus is on practical applications of tactile data, aiming to enhance how robots grasp, manipulate, and interact with real-world environments. XELA's overarching goal is to make automation reliable, adaptable, and accessible across industries, particularly as working populations age in Japan and worldwide.", '', 'The uSkin technology, showcased through the UMI gripper equipped with uSkin sensors in the fingertips, features real-time tactile data visualization. By emphasizing the importance of tactile sensing in robotics, XELA Robotics is poised to make significant strides in the field, enabling robots to perform delicate tasks that require a sense of touch.

As the company continues to innovate and expand its offerings, it is well-positioned to play a pivotal role in the future of robotics and automation.']
