Adin Robotics, a company specializing in robot sensors, won the IR52 Jang Young-sil Award for its 'ultra-small 6-axis force and torque sensor' hosted by the Korea Industrial Technology Promotion Association.
The IR52 Jang Young-sil Award is an award system presented to organizations that demonstrate outstanding technological innovation. It was established to promote the development of competitive technologies within companies. Hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and organized by the Korea Industrial Technology Association, the award is presented to organizations that demonstrate outstanding technological innovation.
The award-winning ultra-small 6-axis force and torque sensor is the world's smallest and is designed to be installed on the fingertips of humanoid robots and grippers to simultaneously measure and detect physical force and torque in three-dimensional space.
Adin Robotics leverages decades of force-sensing technology developed at the Robotics Innovation Lab at Sungkyunkwan University to reduce the sensor size to approximately one-third of existing products, enabling its application in confined spaces on robots. Combining the patented fringe effect with the capacitive method enhances the sensor's sensitivity and rigidity, and its all-in-one design eliminates the need for a separate amplifier, enhancing user convenience.
Furthermore, the price has been reduced to approximately one-tenth of that of imported products, securing price competitiveness. The sensor is currently being supplied to numerous major domestic companies, as well as robot manufacturers and AI/humanoid research institutes in 14 countries around the world. Its application is expanding into the healthcare sector, including its use in special devices measuring orthodontic force.
Lee Yoon-haeng, CEO of Adin Robotics, said, “It is meaningful to have our core force and torque sensor technology officially recognized,” and added, “In an environment where robots are becoming more widespread, we plan to continue introducing sensors that can collaborate safely with people and are highly accessible.”
