Kirisense develops optical tactile sensing technology for robotics and automation. Its kirigami-inspired sensors turn rigid materials into flexible, sensorised surfaces that help robots detect pressure, texture, motion, contact and slip in real time. The company focuses on improving dexterous manipulation where vision-only systems struggle, particularly in delicate, irregular or variable handling tasks. Its work supports applications in food and agri-food automation, warehouse picking, lab automation, waste sorting, wearable interfaces and human–machine interaction. Kirisense is advancing proof-of-concept projects and early pilots with robotics manufacturers, automation integrators and research partners.
