Description

The BioTac Integration System for the JACO hand provides the mechanical and electrical adapters to integrate up to 3 BioTac sensors into each JACO hand. The mechanical adapters have been designed to replace the distal segment of each modular finger and an internally mounted electrical adapter board can be used to aggregate and transmit tactile data through the arm to a computer.

This integration offers three sensory modalities: deformation, vibration, and temperature. The fluid-filled BioTacs have an easily replaceable skin which both protects delicate components and provides a highly compliant fingertip.

SynTouch also offers an alternative integration system: NumaTac System for JACO.
