Dead Reckoning

We make robots great at jobs that need touch.

The gap

Vision gets a robot to the part. Touch gets the job done.

Robots can see where a connector is. They can’t feel whether it clicked home, whether a cable is slipping, or whether they’re about to crush the part in their grip.

Those are the moments that decide quality on a production line, and they happen where cameras can’t see: inside the grip, behind the panel, at the instant of contact.

What we build

Tactile skin
Sensors made for the factory floor, not the lab bench. Designed to read the same shift after shift, and the same from one unit to the next.
Touch models
Models trained on real contact that let a robot react the way your hands do: feel the click, catch the slip, ease off before damage.
Operated cells
We put robots on your line and run them. You pay for completed assembly work, not hardware or an integration project.

Where touch matters

  • Bearing press-fitsSeating bearings square and to depth, and catching a cocked one before it’s pressed home.
  • Loading magnets and small partsPlacing parts that pull, snap, or slide out of position before they’re seated.
  • Cell and module insertionSeating cells and modules firmly without denting cans or tearing insulation.
  • Seals and O-ringsFitting soft parts without rolling, pinching, or twisting them.
  • Connector mating and seating checksMating tight or blind connectors, and confirming every one is fully home before it ships.
  • Controlled-force applicationPressing, dispensing, and balancing with the right force, and knowing when to stop.

These steps show up in motors, actuators, hydraulic modules, battery packs, flight-control computers, and harnesses, across aerospace, defense, robotics, and industrial equipment.

These jobs show up in aircraft, drones, vehicles, data center racks, and industrial equipment.

Work with us

Is there a job your robots can see but can’t finish?

A pilot is one assembly step, on your line, in about three months. If it holds yield, it becomes a per-cell service with no capital spend on your side, and we add steps from there.

We’re running pilots with a small number of manufacturers. Tell us about the assembly step, the part, your volumes, and where it fails today.
