CREATING PRODUCTS THAT HUMANS PREFER TO TOUCH The SynTouch Toccare Haptics Measurement System uses mathematical models based on proven haptics science to guide the design and manufacturing of products and materials that feel how humans prefer them to feel. The industries we serve include nonwoven fabrics and products, apparel, textiles, automotive, cosmetics, and consumer electronics. Everything the human finger can sense, the Toccare system can precisely and repeatedly quantify biomimetically. Designers and manufacturers use Toccare touch data to compare, test, communicate and optimize with both subtlety and accuracy the feel of their products, the first time and every time. When correlated with consumer preferences, the data provide unparalleled haptics insights faster and more economically than any other method or quantification modality. The SynTouch language of touch is valuable across the entire supply chain to provide conformity to objective standards at every stage of development or production, and faster time to market. Use it to communicate across all stages internally and with your vendors and customers from product design to material and vendor sourcing, manufacturing, quality assurance and control, and marketing. ROBOTS THAT FEEL Our haptics sensors mimic the physical properties and sensory capabilities of the human fingertip, turning future possibilities into immediate product applications for robotic arms and prosthetic hands that need to replicate human dexterity and sense of touch. HOW IT ALL BEGAN Our technology was born in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Southern California in 2007 with the vision of giving hand amputees human-like hand dexterity unlike the rudimentary functions of simple prosthetic hands. The technology quickly evolved into its current haptics, robotics and prosthetic applications in response to numerous customer requests, including an extensive collaboration with Procter & Gamble.
