Company Overview
Forcen develops a digital sense of touch for high reliability robotics in surgery and advanced automation. The technology behind this is the company’s force-sensing film technology (ForceFilm) that can be laminated onto any structure to indirectly sense the forces applied to the structure. ForceFilm is precise and compact enough for surgery, robust enough for manufacturing, and light enough for aerospace. This digital sense of touch provides immediate use in human teleoperation and complex automation as well as for the development of future semi/fully autonomous systems.
