You can detect contact no matter where you touch! The contact detection function allows you to stop collaborative robots and more.
"YaWaRaKa Robo D" is a shock-absorbing contact sensor developed with consideration for humans, aimed at enabling harmonious coexistence between people and various types of robots in society. The cushion cover uses three-dimensional soft urethane foam, providing a pleasant tactile sensation and reducing pain when a person collides with it. Additionally, the "contact detection function (with multiple patents)" allows for the stopping of collaborative robots, AGVs, and care robots. 【Features】 ■ Cushion material with shock absorption properties ■ Capable of contact detection even with three-dimensional shapes ■ Simple structure with good cost performance ■ Mass production possible using molded forms ■ Detects a wide area with few elements *Reference exhibit at the Robodex trade show *This product is currently under development, and detailed specifications and pricing have not yet been determined. *The information in this flyer is as of October 2020. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Other Features】 - Uses urethane foam, providing a soft and elastic cushioning effect. - The high resilience and durability against deformation are characteristics of urethane foam. - Capable of detecting contact not only with common flat shapes but also with three-dimensional curved surfaces. - High degree of freedom in shape allows for a focus on design. - Achieves cushioning and contact detection functions with a very simple structure, without using capacitive sensors, piezoelectric elements, or strain gauges. - Can be mass-produced stably using conventional molding methods without the need for 3D printers. - Urethane foam is a general-purpose material, making procurement easy. - A single sensor (element) the size of a fingertip can detect contact across the entire cover. - Since it is not an insert into the cover, there is no risk of disconnection from repeated pressing. - Detects contact by sensing the air flowing outwards. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
