Tangent Robotics builds dexterous robot hands, light-based touch sensors, and motor-learning systems for manufacturers that need robots to perform delicate, high-precision manipulation.
Tangent Robotics says current robots lack the fine motor skills needed for delicate factory tasks such as assembly, threading, connector mating, gasket seating, snap fitting, and gear meshing, while grippers and suction cups are limited to less-delicate work. Its 4.5M pre-seed, led by Fly Ventures and Toyota Ventures, funds a hardware-first stack of robot hands, light-based touch sensing, and motor learning intended to bring those capabilities to manufacturing and reduce practice time from days to hours.
