Melexis has launched a new e-Guide, “Engineering the Future of Robotics: Mastering the Integration of Enhanced Sensory Capabilities”, exploring the robotics landscape as well as Melexis’ latest technologies. The document examines how Melexis’s sensor solutions enable engineers to satisfy the industry demand by addressing integration and cost challenges while optimising designs for performance and scalability.
This engaging e-Guide, available on the Melexis website, details key innovations in robotic perception technologies such as 3D tactile sensing as well as internal sensing systems such as high-precision magnetic encoders, inductive, current, and temperature sensors.
In this piece, Melexis analyses the challenges that modern robotics face — from the complexity of integrating high-performance sensing systems into unpredictable environments to the pressures of reducing development time and overall costs. The guide then explores how traditional sensor systems often fall short when addressing the intricate requirements of tactile, positional, and torque feedback in robotic applications, especially in high-volume production.
Engineers will discover how Melexis’ sensor technologies – including Tactaxis and Arcminaxis – not only deliver robust performance but are also specifically designed to ease the transition from prototype to mass production. For instance, Tactaxis offers precise three-dimensional force measurement that emulates human touch, thereby enabling robots to interact safely and naturally with their environment. This is particularly valuable in collaborative and service robotics, where subtle tactile feedback is critical.
The e-Guide further explores the technical drivers behind Arcminaxis – Melexis’ high-resolution magnetic angular sensing solution that simplifies the mechanical complexities of encoder integration without compromising precision. Also discussed are other robotic-specific solutions such Magnetic, inductive, temperature and current sensors.
Beyond technical discovery, the guide dives into wider market trends and the future of robotics, providing engineers with practical, real-world examples and applications.
