XELA Robotics

XELA Robotics is a Tokyo-based tactile sensing company founded in 2018 as a spin-out from Waseda University, specializing in uSkin high-density 3-axis tactile sensors that give robots a human-like sense of touch. Their sensors measure pressure and shear forces in real time, enabling robots to detect and adapt to physical contact for applications in assembly, agriculture, and advanced manipulation. The company pairs its uSkin hardware with uAi software for integrated tactile intelligence.
