End effector tactile actuators: DysonRecent Research Landscape

Unreliable object manipulation leads to high operational failure rates in autonomous environments. These innovations integrate specialized sensing and actuation within the gripper interface to ensure stable load handling.

What technical problems is Dyson addressing in End effector tactile actuators?

Unstructured environment navigation uncertainty

(10)evidences

Inability to accurately perceive and traverse unknown physical spaces. Overcoming this limitation prevents collisions and ensures operational autonomy in dynamic settings.

Unstructured environment navigation failure

(8)evidences

Standard circular vacuum geometries and brush paths fail to reach corners and wall interfaces. Solving this ensures full floor coverage and eliminates manual touch-ups.

Inconsistent surface contact pressure

(2)evidences

Irregularities in contact force during manipulation lead to material damage or incomplete treatment. Stabilizing pressure ensures uniform processing and prevents mechanical failure.
