Robots can find it a bit tricky to grab glass and mirrors. These objects are reflective and make it hard for robotic sensors and grippers to handle them effectively. With Pre-Touch Sensor TK-01 by Osaka University startup Thinker, it is possible for robotic arms to grab and handle mirrors, glass and other reflective objects. It achieves real-time measurements of “distance and position” of objects at high resolution.

The above video shows this robot in action. You can find out more about the sensor here.
