About 6thSense
Summary
6thSense builds tactile sensing hardware for dexterous robots. Its two products, Skin and Eye2 Pro, capture force and first-person video in sync, giving robot hands the pressure feedback that vision alone cannot provide. The hardware replaces the guesswork that causes robots to crush or drop objects during precision manipulation tasks.
Go-to-market
Robot learning researchers and robotics teams are the target buyers, reached through direct outreach and demo-driven interest in dexterous manipulation use cases.
