Tactile Intelligence Platform

Every Robot
Deserves to Feel

Consumable tactile sensor skins with agentic AI intelligence. The first subscription-based sensing and analytics platform for collaborative and humanoid robotics.

The skin captures the data. The AI makes it valuable. The fleet makes it irreplaceable.

The Problem
Robots can see and hear.
They still can't feel.
Tactile sensing is the missing modality in robotics. Existing solutions cost $500–$5,000+ per sensor, are permanently installed, and generate no recurring data or intelligence.

Today's Reality

Cobots operate at 0.33 m/s without tactile feedback because safety regulations require it. That's 6x slower than their mechanical capability.

When a sensor fails, it's a capital expense replacement — unbudgeted, unpredictable, and requiring specialized installation.

Every grasp, slip, and contact event generates data that goes nowhere. No aggregation. No fleet intelligence. No learning. No AI.

RoboWear's Answer

Consumable piezoresistive sensor skins at 10–100x lower cost that snap on like a second skin and ship on a subscription schedule.

An agentic AI intelligence layer (Tactile IQ) that reasons over live telemetry, predicts failures, and recommends actions through natural conversation.

Every data point feeds the Tactile Interaction Atlas — aggregated fleet intelligence that makes every next-generation skin and every AI answer smarter.

A tactile intelligence platform.
Not just a sensor company.
Four layers, each building on the one below. The skin is the wedge that generates data, revenue, and customers. The AI makes it valuable. The fleet makes it irreplaceable.
Layer 1 — Hardware Wedge

Sensor Skins

Consumable piezoresistive skins generate high-fidelity tactile data at 10Hz across 24+ sensor zones. Sub-$50 COGS vs $500–$5,000+ competitors. Designed to wear out and replace on a subscription schedule. The hardware that funds the platform and generates the ground truth data.

Layer 2 — Open Integration

MCP Integration Layer

Model Context Protocol integrations for third-party sensor ingest. Any sensor system — OEM proprietary, legacy force/torque, research rigs — connects to the platform. The agentic AI autonomously discovers schemas and normalizes data. This opens the platform beyond RoboWear skins to every robot with any form of touch sensing.

Layer 3 — Agentic AI

Tactile IQ

Conversational AI that reasons over live telemetry, identifies anomalies, predicts failures, and recommends actions — grounded in real sensor data with specific timestamps and pressures. Streaming, context-aware, page-aware. The feature that makes the subscription un-cancellable.

Layer 4 — Data Moat

Tactile Interaction Atlas

The world's largest real-world robotic contact dataset. Aggregated, anonymized fleet intelligence that compounds with every skin deployed and every sensor connected via MCP. Cross-platform diversity no single-vendor dataset can match. Foundation model training data for the next generation of dexterous robots.

Meet Tactile IQ
Ask your sensor data anything. Tactile IQ is an agentic AI embedded in every dashboard — grounded in your actual telemetry, not generic answers.
💬

Conversational Interface

Ask "Why did the mug slip?" and get answers citing specific sensors, pressures, and timestamps. Clickable references navigate the dashboard.

🧠

Agentic Reasoning

Autonomously identifies anomalies, predicts sensor failures, recommends grip optimizations, and schedules replacements. Context-aware across every page.

🔌

MCP Data Discovery

Connects to any sensor system via Model Context Protocol. Plug in a new sensor — the AI figures out the schema and starts reasoning over the data.

🌐

Fleet Intelligence

Today: analyzes one robot. Tomorrow: compares your slip patterns against 10,000 deployments. The Atlas makes every answer smarter.

Tactile IQ Sonnet
Why did the mug slip at frame 162?
The slip originated at RW-F01 (Thumb Tip) where pressure dropped from 82.3 kPa to 23.1 kPa over 200ms. Shear stress spiked to 8.4 mN — 3x the stable grip baseline. RW-F04 (Ring Tip) showed correlated decline, suggesting the ceramic surface exceeded the friction threshold at the current grip force. Recommend increasing grip baseline by 15% for smooth surfaces.
Which sensors need replacement first?
RW-F01 is the most urgent — health score 15.0, resistance drift at 13.9%, approximately 27 days remaining. RW-F03 and RW-F04 are close behind. All three are fingertip sensors with 1.8x the degradation rate of forearm zones. On your subscription plan, replacements ship automatically 14 days before projected threshold.
Why Now
The humanoid wave is here.
Tactile sensing is the bottleneck.

Humanoid VC Funding

Figure AI, Unitree, Sanctuary AI, Tesla Optimus — all need tactile sensing for dexterous manipulation. Training data collection is the immediate use case.

4.66M

Installed Robot Base

Industrial robots already deployed worldwide. Less than 2% have any form of tactile skin. The MCP integration layer unlocks this installed base as platform customers.

Global AI Spending 2026

The agentic AI investment wave means investors understand AI-native platforms. Tactile IQ positions RoboWear as an AI company, not a hardware company.
