Changingtek Robotics Launches Tactile Data Collection Hand for Robotics Research

Changingtek Robotics has globally launched its in-house developed tactile data collection hand, announced in a press release. The device is built to support embodied intelligent robot research, precision manipulation, and algorithm validation through synchronized multi-dimensional data capture.

The compact unit features a tactile array with a spatial resolution of 2.34 taxels per square centimetre and supports force detection from 0 to 160 newtons with a sensing precision of 0.1 newton. It achieves positioning accuracy of 0.7 millimetres, pose precision of 0.01 degrees, and a 30 Hz data capture rate. The hand collects visual, pose, force, and tactile datasets in real time for direct use in AI model training and robotics algorithm development.

Powered by Changingtek’s proprietary software, the hardware allows real time data processing and visualization across major operating systems and robot control frameworks. Weighing 600 grams with up to four hours of battery life, the device supports extended field deployment and integrates with the company’s existing gripper architecture for consistent communication and motion logic.

Changingtek’s product lineup includes parallel, collaborative, multi-fingered, and heavy-duty grippers covering a wide range of payloads. The company applies tactile-visual fusion and AI control algorithms to deliver intelligent grasping solutions for sectors such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and smart logistics.
