Appearing in Tech Briefs, the article highlights how PPS tactile sensing technology was integrated into a custom curling training brush to capture real-time pressure data during sweeping. Developed with Professor Gerry Sande, the system translates sweeping technique into measurable data, helping teams analyse performance and refine training strategies.
Read MoreAppearing in ISHN, the article explores how PPS tactile sensing, in collaboration with Heeluxe, led to the development of SmartLast — an automated system that translates human fit perception into consistent, measurable data, positioning footwear fit as a safety-critical parameter rather than a comfort preference.
Read MoreAppearing in Engineering Update, the article highlights a collaboration with Heeluxe, showing how tactile sensing is used to quantify footwear fit and comfort, advancing ergonomic assessment in product design.
Read MoreFeatured in Automation, the article explores how PPS and Tesollo are bringing RoboTact to Korea’s RobotWorld 2025, charting its progress from prototype sensors to a versatile system enabling robots to sense, adapt, and interact more naturally.
Read MoreIt’s not surprising wearable devices are becoming popular with athletes and sports scientists to try and gain a performance advantage. Brandon Larson, a technologist with the Red Bull High Performance group has experience working within this field and has led a project to collect data and provide insight to several elite surfers.
Read MoreThe initial research was focused on determining how the pressure of a surfer’s feet is transferred to the surfboard to control it. To accomplish this, high resolution pressure mapping was used in conjunction with sensors within the insoles of ‘booties’.
