Robert is the Founder & CEO of ForceN, where he’s spent the past decade developing force/torque sensing uniquely designed for complex and unstructured applications across surgical, logistics, space, humanoid, nuclear, and food/agricultural robotics.
ForceN was motivated by his PhD work on next generation sensing and actuation for surgical robots at the University of Toronto and SickKids Hospital and through his previous work experience in early unstructured robotics across the nuclear, heavy manufacturing manufacturing, field, and medical robotics industries.
He works to help grow and accelerate the complex and unstructured robotics ecosystem by sharing what he’s learned through his career working for and developing sensing systems to enable world leading robotics OEMs.
Learn about the many ways force & torque sensors can be used in humanoids and how to avoid breaking them while doing it. We'll summarize learnings from working with many of world's top humanoid companies over the past three years and best practices we can incorporate from over a 10 years of force/torque sensor development in surgical, logistics, and field robotics field with the goal of accelerating the production & field readiness of humanoids.
