Force-torque sensors are used to compensate manufacturing tolerances or wear, thereby increase the robustness. For integration, robot manufacturers offer extensive technology packages for their robot controllers. In order to integrate these special expertise and extensive programming skills are usually necessary, which in turn is reflected in the budget and time required.
Bypass these disadvantages with ArtiMinds RPS +Force! Implement your force-controlled robot application with the appropriate force-torque sensor even without special knowledge and in very short time. Test solutions such as probing, searching for holes or torque balancing live on the robot without high programming effort – and thus save a lot of time and money during process development.
Use the innovative solutions of ArtiMinds RPS +Force also for your flexible robot-based automation with force-torque sensors.
Broad support of force sensors
Easy setup and verification
Tactile sensitivity and hand guiding

Our free white paper provides an overview of the supported robot manufacturers and peripheral devices.
Easily configure the settings and mounting of your force-torque sensor in the robot configurator either numerically or in 3D. Test if everything works as expected using an automated connection test.
A large set of templates allows for fast implementation of tasks with tactile sensitivity. Easily compensate tolerances which would crash a robot without sensors. ArtiMinds RPS provides broadly applicable force-sensitive skills leading to high process reliability. The automatic correction of the robot motion forms the basis to optimize the robot program using ArtiMinds LAR.
Pick and Place
Softly pick and place objects even if the gripper is not perfectly centred.
Search-Motions
Search for holes, corners, surfaces and more. Search patterns, forces, friction can be easily modified among others.
Insert-Motions
Insert objects of different shapes like cylinders or boxes without jammings into holders or cavities.
Align-Motions
Align object sides, surfaces and corners, contact an object or centre it between contact surfaces.
Continuous Paths
Overlay a continuous path with a force for grinding, polishing or similar tasks to smoothly follow even complex free-form surfaces.
ArtiMinds RPS +Force provides helper tools to guide your robot assisted by its force measurements.

ArtiMinds RPS +Force automatically generates optimized robot code. The generated robot code uses available software add-ons of the robot manufacturer to ensure the best available process reliability. You don’t have to pay attention to the implementation details of the chosen robot manufacturer or force sensor. ArtiMinds RPS +Force will automatically solve tasks like the parameterization of force controllers, communication setup or transformation of forces to specific contact points for you.
ArtiMinds RPS +Force adds additional channels to the live sensor data. Analyze forces and torques transformed into a contact point or as raw data to qualify your process and ensure the process specification is met.
Easily stream sensor data with high frequencies up to 500Hz. Export all channels as a .csv file to document your process. Discover the benefits of ArtiMinds LAR with live data.
