you build robots that move.we make them feel.
across humanoids, cobots, surgical arms, and EV lines, VPG gives motion systems the force, torque, and current sensing they need to act with precision and perception.
where motion meets measurement.
physical AI is only as good as its sense of the physical world. a robot that can feel force, measure torque, and trust its own current draw can act safely alongside people, and improve every cycle.
load cells, transducers, and strain gages give actuators a controlled sense of contact, down to grams across kilograms of payload.
ppm-stable foil resistors and current-sense components keep motor drives and analog front ends precise across temperature and time.
miniature data acquisition captures force, shock, and motion profiles from bench characterization through whole-robot validation.
four verticals. one sensing partner.
each robotics and physical AI vertical draws on the same four VPG divisions, applied to a different set of end-customer challenges.
humanoid robotics
humanoid platforms only work when every joint knows how hard it is pushing. VPG supplies the force, torque, and current sensing that lets a 30 kg arm register 50 grams of contact and act on it.
miniature load cells and joint-torque transducers that give actuators a true sense of contact force across the full range of motion.
