Fogale Sensors at Automate 2026 - Revealing the Next Evolution of Embedded Adaptive Robotic Safety

SENSKIN®: Rethinking Safety for Human-Robot Collaboration

For years, SENSKIN® has demonstrated how embedded capacitive sensing can transform the interaction between humans and robots. Unlike conventional safety approaches based on safety fences, external scanners, cameras, or LiDAR systems, SENSKIN® integrates intelligence directly onto the robot itself. Using Fogale Sensors’ proprietary guarded capacitive technology, robots become capable of detecting human presence and nearby obstacles before contact occurs.

This embedded approach enables:

• Predictive collision avoidance
• Precise real-time 3D proximity detection
• Human-aware robot behavior
• Dynamic speed and motion adaptation
• Reduced unnecessary emergency stops
• Continued operation in collaborative environments

With ultra-fast response time (<10 ms) and fully embedded sensing architecture, SENSKIN® allows robots to react more intelligently and more fluidly around operators without relying on external monitoring systems affected by blind spots, environmental complexity, or workspace constraints.

Rather than simply stopping the robot after detection, SENSKIN® enables adaptive robotic behavior designed to preserve productivity while improving safety.

The result is a more natural collaboration between humans and machines:
safer, more flexible, and more efficient.

Designed for industrial deployment, SENSKIN® is compatible with a wide variety of robotic configurations and brands, enabling integration across collaborative, industrial, and autonomous robotic platforms.

The technology is also designed with functional safety integration in mind and supports architectures compatible with ISO 13849-1 PL d / Category 3 requirements.

Introducing SENSKIN® Modular

At Automate 2026, Fogale Sensors will introduce SENSKIN® Modular, the next evolution of adaptive robotic safety.

SENSKIN® Modular preserves the core advantages that made SENSKIN® unique:

• Embedded predictive safety
• High-speed 3D proximity sensing
• Real-time motion adaptation
• Human-aware robotic operation
• Continuous operation with reduced unnecessary stops
• Broad compatibility across robotic platforms

But once again, Fogale Sensors pushes the technology further.

SENSKIN® Modular introduces a new retrofit-ready architecture specifically designed to simplify deployment on existing robotic platforms without modifying or altering the robot itself. This new approach enables manufacturers and integrators to equip robots faster and more easily with embedded adaptive safety capabilities while preserving robot mobility, payload capacity, accessibility, and overall robotic performance.

The result is a new generation of robotic integration combining:

• Embedded intelligence
• Operational continuity
• Simplified deployment
• Reduced integration effort
• Scalable industrial implementation

Experience the Technology Live at Automate 2026

Visitors attending Automate 2026 will discover three live robotic demonstrations at the Fogale Sensors booth, including exclusive demonstrations featuring the new SENSKIN® Modular technology. These demonstrations will showcase robots capable of detecting human presence in real time and dynamically adapting their behavior while continuing operation safely around operators.

More than a product presentation, these demonstrations represent a major technological milestone in adaptive human-machine collaboration and embedded robotic safety.

A unique opportunity to discover the future of intelligent robotic interaction.
