Robotiq has launched the 2FC physical AI gripper, a production-ready adaptive gripper with tactile sensing and embedded intelligence, helping robots learn from physical interaction and act reliably on what they learn, from the lab to production. Pre-orders open today, with shipping in Q1 2027.
The industry is investing heavily in vision, demonstrations, simulation and data, yet manipulation ultimately depends on touch. Most robots cannot feel what they grasp, leaving valuable contact data such as pressure, slip, force or position information uncaptured.
While tactile sensing itself is not new, turning raw sensor data into useful training data and real-time behavior remains a challenge. [Read more…] about Robotiq launches the 2FC physical AI gripper
