Application examples for robotics

Upcoming technologies

We are developing single Integrated Circuit (IC) solutions which are Robot-Operating-System (ROS) compliant. They combine our expertise in magnetic sensing, signal conditioning, on-board diagnosis for functional safety, automotive quality solutions and advanced packages.

Force - Tactaxis®

Triaxis® 3D magnetometer and magnet embedded in an elastomer

  • 3D force sensing
  • Soft contact surface
  • Scalable into array

Description

For industrial robots and humanoids, who need the sense of touch to manipulate fragile objects, Melexis brings a tactile sensor. It is compact (5 mm x 5 mm x 5 mm), soft and provides the 3D force vector acting on the surface. Unlike optical tactile sensors using computer vision feedback, our force sensor is fully integrated and will be mass manufactured using semiconductor technology. It offers cost and reliability advantage.

Position & speed - Arcminaxis®

Triaxis® position sensor and multi-track magnet

  • On-chip calibration
  • Relaxed assembly tolerances
  • Mounted on hollow shaft

Description

For industrial robots, cobots, exoskeletons who need a 16-bit resolution and 12-bit accuracy sensor for their joint control, Melexis' angular sensing solution offers on-chip calibration, speed measurement and system scalability. Unlike other dual magnetic track angular sensors, we ease assembly tolerances and reduces the overall Bill-of-Material (BOM).
