Robots can walk, grab, and flip. They still can’t feel. JQ Industries is changing that with fabric-based electronic skin — piezoresistive flexible tactile sensors woven into textile and wrapped around a Unitree G1 humanoid.
What the E-Skin Does
The sensor fabric converts pressure, deformation, and slip into electrical signals in real time. Sensitivity: 0.01 newtons. Range: up to 3,500 kPa. Folds to under 0.1mm radius, passes automotive-grade impact tests. In the G1 demo, the robot detected hugs, shoulder taps, and light touches, then adjusted posture instantly — closed-loop tactile control.
JQ also makes glove-form sensors with multi-point palm feedback for teleoperation and motion capture.
SDK Access for AI Agents
JQ’s sensor modules expose real-time tactile data streams via SDK. Integrates with ROS2 and NVIDIA Isaac Sim — AI agents can read pressure, shear, and slip signals to drive adaptive grasp policies. A programmable nervous system for your robot stack.
The Weihai-based company runs its own roll-to-roll factory: 200,000 sensors/year, 95% yield, production costs cut 80% by retrofitting textile machinery. Series A just closed (eight-figure RMB). Already shipping skin systems to 10+ humanoid companies.
