ProxySkin

The ProxySKIN technology is a multimodal sensing architecture integrating tactile and proximity sensors, meant to cover large area surfaces, such as the links of collaborative robots, and providing a proxy-tactile representation of the environment. Tactile sensors estimate the force distribution of the entities that get in direct contact with the sensorized object, while proximity sensors collect geometric information about the surrounding environment.

ProxySKIN is built on top of the CySkin technology and arrays of VL53L8CX Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors by STMicroelectronics.
