TE Connectivity Sensors in Robots
TE Connectivity Sensors in Robots enable safe human-to-robot interactions as the sensors collect data that enables successful and safe operation, which allows an increase in efficiency, productivity, and safety. Learn about the TE sensors engineered for robotic applications.
Sensors For Surgical Robots
Robot-assisted surgery uses surgical robots to assist in performing minimally invasive medical procedures, offering patients shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, faster recovery time, and smaller incision sites. Additionally, surgical robots aid with surgeon fatigue during long and complex operations. Robotic surgery uses a surgeon console, where the surgeon controls and manipulates the mechanical arms of the surgical robot by looking through a camera that magnifies the surgical site. The surgeon’s hand, wrist, and finger movements are mimicked through the console controls and carried over to the robotic arms to perform the surgery with a very concise, small incision while still offering the surgeon full control. The highly precise functionality needed to successfully perform a surgical procedure on a human using a surgical robot would not be possible without high-performing sensors. TE Connectivity offers torque, force, and position capabilities to accomplish these needs.
Featured Sensors For Surgical Robots
TE Connectivity String Potentiometers
A reliable and cost-effective solution for precise linear position measurement.
TE Connectivity / Measurement Specialties KMXP AMR Linear Position Sensors
High-resolution, high-precision sensing with 10μm to 50μm accuracy in ranges between 1mm and 5mm.
Sensors For Cobots
Sensors are used in robotics to accurately monitor a variety of system components, preventing or eliminating downtime and enabling the safe and efficient operation of robots or cobots. These cobots are intended to interact with and assist human workers rather than operate as standalone automated equipment with little to no human interaction. Cobots in manufacturing environments can also handle complex or dangerous tasks that humans cannot complete or perform safely. As safety requirements for collaborative robots have been developed and expanded, sensors have been used to help monitor and control these industrial robots and cobots to achieve these functional safety requirements. TE Connectivity offers a variety of sensors for industrial and collaborative robots, including position, torque, force, temperature, and optical sensors.

Sensors For AGVs and AMRs
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are used to transport loads or goods and support manufacturing production lines, and are ideal for facilities with well-defined, relatively fixed operations. More recently, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) have been introduced into the industry. AMRs, like AGVs, follow predefined paths. However, AMRs can see an obstacle and move around it to complete the designated task. At the same time, AGVs can sense an obstacle but stop and wait for it to be removed, requiring user intervention. AGVs and AMRs can both be used for dynamic activities such as transporting materials, loading or unloading goods, and shelving or de-shelving inventory. Sensors from TE Connectivity, including a range of position, optical, tilt and force sensors, provide the foundational data to ensure that AGVs and AMRs are operating correctly, safely, and as efficiently as possible.
