Sensobright Industries LLC: Innovators with 145+ Global Patents in Tactile Sensor Field

Founded in 2018 by Prof. Dr. Utku Buyuksahin, alongside strategic investors Inventram and KOC HOLDING, Sensobright emerged as a beacon of technological innovation. With its headquarters nestled in the heart of Portland, Oregon, as a Delaware Company, Sensobright embarked on a mission to revolutionize tactile sensor technology.

Enhancing Human Touch

Traditional touch technologies have long been limited by their inability to match the intricacies of human touch. Sensobright shattered these limitations by harnessing its patented tactile technologies. Scaling receptors beyond human capacity, our system boasts thousands of receptors per square centimeter, paving the way for heightened tactile experiences. Beyond the realm of mere touch, Sensobright’s system transcends boundaries, delving into eight dimensions, including temperature, force, pressure, and even pain. It not only enables high-resolution images and videos but also boasts the remarkable ability to sense proximity without physical contact.

Unrivaled Sensitivity

At the core of Sensobright’s innovation lies its unparalleled sensitivity. Processing tens of millions of individual receptors concurrently, our technology offers sensitivity and resolution previously unimaginable. Unlike conventional systems confined to processing two touch points, Sensobright’s system seamlessly handles vast amounts of sensor data, effortlessly transferring over ten million data points via a single USB cable, thereby reducing integration costs significantly.

Impact Across Industries

Sensobright’s influence extends far beyond the confines of a single sector. From robotics to automotive, surgical robotics, medical devices, COBOTs, and beyond, our technology leaves an indelible mark. Globally recognized, Prof. Dr. Utku Buyuksahin’s pioneering work earned him a prestigious position among the top 25 scientists worldwide in 2019, as acknowledged by the Falling Walls Foundation. Moreover, our tactile sensing technologies have graced the covers of leading technology, industry, and business magazines, reinforcing our commitment to excellence.

Redefining Perception with Tactile Sensors

Beyond Human Resolution: Sensobright’s sensor system transcends the limitations of human touch, redefining resolution. With the ability to sense shapes and depths, our technology bestows robots and devices with a touch sensation surpassing that of humans.

Shape and Depth Perception: Driven by exceptional resolution in the X/Y axes, our sensors discern the intricate shapes of objects with unparalleled precision. Moreover, extending into the Z axis, our technology enables depth perception, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the tactile environment.

Proximity Sensing for Safety: Sensobright’s sensors excel in proximity sensing, even in the absence of physical contact. This invaluable feature finds applications in safety-critical scenarios, particularly in cobots and industrial robots operating in close proximity to humans, ensuring enhanced safety measures.

Advancing Surgical Precision with Medical Instruments

Laparoscopic Surgery Revolutionized: Sensobright’s Laparoscopic Surgery System integrates cutting-edge artificial intelligence software with highly sensitive tactile and temperature sensors. This transformative system, seamlessly attached to laparoscopic devices, enhances surgical precision and safety.

Enhanced Surgical Experience: By transmitting the invaluable knowledge of experienced surgeons through trained laparoscopic devices, Sensobright’s technology elevates success rates, particularly for less experienced surgeons. Early detection of critical thresholds during surgeries alerts doctors to potential tumors or bleeding, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Potential for Impact: Studies indicate a potential 21% increase in cured patients undergoing surgery in the US alone, resulting in substantial savings in healthcare costs annually. With a focus on cancer-focused minimally invasive surgeries, Sensobright’s technology holds the promise of saving lives and reducing healthcare spending significantly.

Transforming Flexibility: Smart Surface Converts Any Surface into a Touch-Driven Controller

The Smart Surface technology employs our specialized Magic Silicone to craft a sleek, thin, and dark-colored silicone pad. This pad is meticulously engineered to detect and interpret touch, seamlessly translating it into digital data. It boasts versatility, capable of being shaped into uniform or non-uniform forms, thereby enabling the conversion of any flexible surface into a remarkably sensitive, multi-touch digital controller. As an illustration, the magic silicone is strategically positioned beneath the rear center-stack of a vehicle, effectively transforming the upholstery into an intuitive control unit for multimedia functions.

Expanding Horizons: Shaping the Future

Sectors of Influence: Sensobright’s influence transcends conventional boundaries, permeating diverse sectors, including robotics, automotive, surgical robotics, medical devices, COBOTs, humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, security & defense, avionics, and automation. Continuously exploring new avenues, we aim to redefine possibilities and reshape industries.

Global Recognition: Prof. Dr. Utku Buyuksahin’s groundbreaking contributions to tactile sensing technology have earned global acclaim. From being honored as one of the top scientists worldwide to gracing the covers of renowned magazines, Sensobright’s journey is marked by excellence and recognition.

Future Prospects: As we forge ahead, Sensobright remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation and progress. Our vision extends beyond the present, envisioning a future where technology seamlessly integrates with human experiences, revolutionizing industries, and improving lives.
