To further automate human work, Thinker is working on next-generation end-effectors that use our proprietary "Pre-Touch Sensor" and "Flexible Actuator" technologies to realize a world with plenty of dexterous robots everywhere.
* A robot must be dexterous : There is a limit to the "dexterity" of robots. This is why automation sites still require a lot of human effort, such as lining up the workpieces and teaching for the robots. A robot must have the ability to sense and adjust the work situation and its changes by itself and achieve its goal with minimum teaching.
* Pre-Touch Sensor (TK-01) : A high-performance sensor equipped with Edge AI that can measure the distance and angular orientation of an object at high speeds. It works even in camera blind spots and can measure a variety of materials such as glass and mirrors.
* Flexible Actuator : To instantly respond to an unstable and changing environment, it is essential to “handle objects like a human,“ "adjust the strength and grip with precision,“ and seamlessly combine both "flexibility and rigidity". We have two types of actuator technologies, Floating mechanism and MagLinkage.
Where our products can be used : Robot picking in these cases
①Irregular
Example: Part of an object lined up at equal intervals shifts and a bottle falls over on the bottling line
②Amorphous object
Example: Food, masterless
③Bulk pile
Example: Screw, O-ring
Finance : We are planning Series-B finance round next year.
