Measurement types

Anticollision and Proximity detection

Non-intrusive sensing for human-machine interaction and safety

The challenge

  • In sterile, medical or industrial environments, physical contact with control panels increases contamination or wear risks
  • Users demand natural, intuitive interactions with machines and robots
  • Buttons, screens and control zones must be integrated into complex or mobile equipment

Our technical response

  • Capacitive proximity sensors enable gesture detection, hand tracking, or presence detection
  • Integration under plastic, glass or foam for invisible, sealed HMIs
  • Same technology deployed in robotics (Smart Skin) and automotive (ie  console interaction)
  • Stable performance over time — no recalibration, resistant to EMI, cleaning, and vibration

Proven applications

  • Reduce contamination and wear with no-contact control zones
  • Enable intelligent gesture control and user safety
  • Create next-generation interfaces in medical, robotics, or mobility systems
  • Seamless design integration

Key Solutions

  • SENSKIN : Embedded capacitive HMI sensors for anti-collision and proximity detection
