Tactile Robots designs, builds, and commercializes autonomous robots for delivering food, drinks, and small goods within indoor commercial spaces like hotels and hospitals. Their core innovation is the TR1 robot, the first mobile robot with a soft, pressure-sensitive design that allows users to nudge it for navigation. This tactile technology enhances safety, making the robots suitable for operating in narrow environments with people, including children and seniors. They also offer a general-purpose mobile base with omni-directional capabilities, multiple lidars for 360-degree vision, and a high payload capacity. Their business model appears to be product sales and potentially services related to human-robot interaction, AI, and mechatronics.
