Touchlab

Positioning

Touchlab Limited (SC607401, Edinburgh National Robotarium) makes ultra-thin conformal e-skin and TACTO tactile fingertips for robotic grippers and dexterous hands. Entity-scoped: ~$4.8m seed Feb-2022 (Octopus Ventures-led); ARIA Robot Dexterity contract £1.033585m dated 05-Mar-25; TACTO shown on Shadow Robot Dexterous Hand and Tesollo DG-5F at ICRA Jun-2026. Distinguishing point is printable nanocomposite sensors with incipient-slip detection; open question is commercial scale, as YE 29-Dec-2024 filings remain micro (turnover under £1m, 7 employees) and Series A was only being prepared as of Apr-2026.
