Digit Plexus
Overview :
Digit Plexus is a robotic hardware platform designed to provide standardized hardware-software solutions for integrating tactile sensors in various robotic hands. This platform can integrate vision-based and skin-based tactile sensors, such as Digit, Digit 360, and ReSkin, into a control board and transmit all data encoded through a single cable to a host computer. This integration allows for seamless data collection, control, and analysis. Background information on the product indicates that Digit Plexus collaborated with Wonik Robotics to develop the next-generation Allegro Hand based on this platform, and there is an opportunity to express interest in early access through specific links.
Target Users :
The target audience includes robotics researchers, developers, and manufacturers who need an integrated platform with various sensors and actuators to develop and test new robotic technologies. Digit Plexus is well-suited for these users due to its modularity, standardization, and ease of integration, making it ideal for research and innovation.
