tacterion develops smart surface solutions to enable the next generation of interactive and responsive products. We create the tactile internet of the future by bringing the sense of touch to products.
Our sensor technology plyon® flex is the basis of tactile digitization. plyon® flex combines resistive and capacitive sensing principles, enabling proximity, touch and force measurement in one layer. It is highly flexible and can be integrated in curved surfaces and applications that bend during operation. Showing unique technological advantages, the tacterion sensor platform is the basis for smart products.
At tacterion, we don't just provide sensors, but we provide fully integrated end-to-end tactile sensing solutions for our customers:
Our solutions offer an unrivaled range of problem-solving in the fields of automotive, power tools and consumer products.

The ability to manipulate objects with precision and care has long been a hallmark of human dexterity. For robots operating in unstructured environments, replicating this skill remains a formidable challenge. Whether in chaotic warehouses, bustling hospitals, or varied agricultural fields, adaptive robotic grippers must be capable of handling uncertainty, diversity in objects, and changing situations. This blog explores the design principles, technologies, and trends shaping the future of robotic grippers made for unstructured environments.

From the primitive mechanical designs of the early industrial era to the adaptive, sensitive capabilities of soft robotics today, the evolution of end effectors has reshaped the way industries operate. End effectors, often referred to as the "hands" of robotic systems, are critical components that allow robots to interact with the physical world. Their design, functionality, and complexity have developed significantly over decades, driven by the need for precision, efficiency, and adaptability.
tacterion was founded in 2015 as a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Since 2015 we are specializing in production scale up and technology commercialization, to make our novel technology available to a broad audience of customers.
tacterion has closed a Series A in 2021. The company is now backed by two global premium brands. Together, we set the sails to create the leading tactile sensing company.
