Renesas at embedded world North America 2026
summary
Industrial humanoid hand integrates inductive position sensors with 19-bit resolution and tiny coils for fingertip and joint placement, sensor signal conditioners that boost force sensitivity 6x and calibrate up to third-polynomial while cutting board cost up to 90%, and impedance touch chips that are 24x more accurate and 4x faster than capacitive with seven tactile zones per IC. Signal chain uses 1–20 pF e-skin electrodes, 10M+ flex durability, RS485 aggregating 32 nodes at 1 Mbps, optical isolation and a hardware force cutoff that acts without the MCU.
