- Developers can upload a 3D model of a robot part to OpenTac CAD instead of manually engineering sensor arrays.
- Within 3 seconds, the software auto-routes a custom flexible printed circuit board and generates files for a 3D-printable protective bump case.
- The generated design covers up to 93% of the target area, dramatically lowering the hardware barrier to robot tactile sensing.
