AdapTronics

Adaptronics develops and manufactures the Electro Active Adhesive Layer (EAAL), a plug-and-play feather-light device which makes use of electroadhesion and AI-enabled sensorisation to enable robots to grab any kind of object with versatility, dexterity and energy efficiency. Sensory feedback from the EAAL allows for a considerable improvement in grasping capability. The technology was developed in collaboration with SAIMA Lab, a joint research laboratory between the University of Bologna and the Institute of Intelligent Industrial Systems and Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing (STIIMA) of the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy.
