New Step from MIS Automation: Tactile Robot Hand MIS-Touch Ushers in a New Era of Precision Manipulation

As industrial automation demands increasingly complex, faster and low-tolerance production processes, it is becoming critical for robots not only to see but also to feel. MIS Automation has added the tactile robot hand MIS-Touch to its product family in response to this need. Combining human-hand-like dexterity, high durability and multi-modal tactile sensing, MIS-Touch sets a new standard for precision assembly, laboratory automation, electronics manufacturing, medical device production and all applications requiring fine manipulation.

What sets MIS-Touch apart is its ability not only to hold an object but to measure contact force, slip direction, surface geometry and gripping quality in real time, thanks to 508-point pressure sensors on its fingers and additional sensing modules in the palm. This capability enables safe and controlled work with fragile or irregularly shaped parts. It significantly reduces error risk across a wide range of applications, from electronic components to medical device parts, from laboratory tubes to precision assembly elements.

Its mechanical structure is also designed to support industrial-grade performance. With 11 degrees of freedom, up to 30 kg total payload capacity, a lightweight 490-gram body and 100 MHz EtherCAT infrastructure, it enables high-speed synchronized operation with both cobots and industrial robot arms. A force-position hybrid control algorithm, soft landing function and 1 million grip cycle lifespan ensure long-term stability on production lines.

This new technology represents a powerful response to Industry 5.0's approach that centers on human-machine collaboration. With MIS-Touch, robots evolve beyond being mere repetitive task tools into systems that can sense their environment, react according to context and safely perform complex manipulations. While smarter, safer and more flexible production models become possible for enterprises, a new platform is created for robotic research at universities and R&D centers.

With MIS-Touch, MIS Automation is making tactile robotics technology accessible for the first time in Turkey and bringing a new level of precision manipulation to users. This milestone step shaping the future of industrial automation advances both quality and reliability in manufacturing processes.
