Organic Robotics Corporation tests artificial skin for smart garments and robots

Jun 26, 2019

Organic Robotics Corporation was awarded a spot in the 2019 Luminate Accelerator.

Organic Robotics Corporation, a spin-out company from the Cornell University Organic Robotics Lab, is using fiber optics to give robots a sense of touch. Its Optical Lace™ is a stretchable smart material that can sense its own shape and measure pressure on its surface. This fabric is currently being tested as an “artificial skin” for robots, providing them with both touch-sensitivity as well as feedback on how the robot’s limbs are positioned in space. Further commercial applications include smart-garments that can improve competitive performance in athletics, create a sense of body awareness in a virtual environment, or monitor pressure ulcers from peripheral neuropathy that could lead to amputation.
