Adaptronics reinvents the way robots and automated machines grab any object by unlocking unprecedented versatility, dexterity, and energy efficiency in all kinds of automated objects-moving processes, on Earth and in Space.
This is only possible thanks to our spin-in, proprietary technology based on a flexible printed electronics thin-film that becomes adhesive on command through electrostatics on objects of all shapes and materials, with an impressive force density, sensor-AI feedback capabilities to detect proximity, contact, type of material and exchanged force with the target.
It can be integrated in docking mechanisms, soft-docking systems, nets, harpoons, and similar devices for grasping space assets for their maintenance, repair, refueling, assembly, and disassembly, as well as active retrieval of non-cooperative space debris.
Thus, Adaptronics overcomes current limitations through a technology that is perfectly suited for working in microgravity and deep vacuum conditions, with no need to predispose the target object with grappling fixtures, and with an irrelevant power consumption that has no need for heat dissipation, often troublesome in Space robotics.
Moreover, Adaptronics’ products’ versatility makes them suitable for addressing multiple needs, with the potential to revolutionize industries by offering a more efficient, adaptable, and energy-efficient approach to tasks that involve gripping and handling objects. This scalability has already brought paying clients in industrial automation (5 ongoing PoCs with subsequent supply agreement, request for 5 more), with further disruptive potential in general manufacturing, logistics, robotics, agritech and healthcare, where its unique adhesive capabilities can streamline processes and improve productivity.
