SynTouch - Telerobots

Tactile feedback can trigger automatic responses of the robot faster than the human operator could respond consciously. This "mind of its own" is actually closer to what the brain expects when controlling biological limbs, which are equipped with similarly sophisticated "reflexes" generated by the spinal cord.

SynTouch - Advanced Prosthetic Hands
http://www.syntouchllc.com/Applications/Advanced-Prosthetic-Hands
Raquo; Advanced Prosthetic Hands. Prosthetic Hands with Smart Reflexes. Clinicians have long known that insensate hands tend to be almost useless even if they have normal motor function. Anyone who has tried to use their hands when their fingertips are numb from the cold also knows this. Nevertheless, designers of prosthetic hands have been reluctant to incorporate tactile sensing because their products need to be simple, robust and cost-effective to fit and maintain.

SynTouch - Autonomous Robots
http://www.syntouchllc.com/Applications/Autonomous-Robots
Raquo; Autonomous Robots. Highly compliant surfaces such as the human fingertips and soft tissue padding of human limbs can absorb energy and slow the dynamics of collisions, permitting slower, less "stiff" control loops and avoiding high contact forces and damage to objects and robots. Sensitive contact detection can trigger simple state changes in the actuators to enable graceful acquisition and release of objects and rapid mitigation of collisions, similar to the reflexes employed by human grasp.
