PaXini PX-6AX

A multi-dimensional tactile sensor from PaXini that outputs distributed force, net force, and torque at the point of contact.

The PX-6AX is a tactile sensor series from PaXini (帕西尼感知), described by the company as an ITPU multi-dimensional tactile sensing unit, now in its fourth generation (GEN4); the transduction principle it uses has not been disclosed in detail. It outputs a 3D array of distributed force, a 3D net force, and 3D torque, and the company states it can resolve more than 15 tactile parameters. Per the published specs: normal-force range 0–25 N, shear (tangential) force ±10 N, spatial resolution 0.1 mm, maximum output rate 1000 Hz, IP68 rated, with chip-level magnetic shielding highlighted; the smallest detectable force is 0.01 N for GEN3 and 0.005 N for GEN4. It comes in sizes ranging from fingertip pads to palm pads, and is used on dexterous-hand fingertips, grippers, and robot skin — PaXini’s own DexH13 dexterous hand and TORA-ONE humanoid both feature this kind of tactile sensing.

ExampleA PX-6AX mounted on a dexterous-hand fingertip reads out normal pressure and shear force at the same time while pinching an egg; a sudden jump in shear force signals an incipient slip.
