DESIGNED
TO FEEL.
BUILT
TO ACT.
Grasping is robotics’ missing link. TACTILIA is building the hand for Physical AI, combining industrial-grade robotic hands, intelligent grasping capabilities and deep process expertise to solve real-world automation challenges.
Visualization, AI-generated
Hand. Skill. Process.
HAND.
Touch, real-world applications, collaboration, and intuitive interaction.
SKILL.
Agility, fine motor control, adaptability, and intelligent manipulation.
PROCESS.
Engineering, motion control, materials, and technical excellence.
WE DON’T JUST BUILD HANDS.
WE SOLVE GRASPING.

TOOL USE
THE HAND IS
ONLY THE
BEGINNING.
Robots can see, plan and move. But industrial value starts when they can reliably interact with the real world. TACTILIA tackles grasping as a complete task, combining hardware, software, and application expertise to turn robotic capabilities into measurable productivity gains.

Backed by SCHUNK SE
Startup speed.
Industrial backbone.
SCHUNK SE is a technology pioneer in toolholding, workholding, gripping and automation technology – family-owned since 1945, with 3,700 employees and sales partners in 75 countries.
TACTILIA Robotics is SCHUNK’s technology spin-off for humanoid robot hands. It combines startup speed with more than 80 years of gripping and automation expertise – and with direct access to the SCHUNK CoLabs: the global robot application centers where applications are validated from first test to industrial implementation.
About SCHUNK SEBUILT TO FIT THE TASK.
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
AUTOMOTIVE
Connector mating · Clip insertion · Cable routing
Reaches tight spaces and handles complex geometries.
LIFE SCIENCES
Vial handling · Sample preparation · Lab automation
Processes sensitive samples with consistent, gentle handling.
MANUFACTURING
Machine tending · Part assembly · Fastener handling
Adapts to changing part variants without tool changes.
LOGISTICS
Piece picking · Parcel handling · Returns processing
Picks irregular shapes across diverse item types.
DEFENSE
Component handling · Maintenance · Field servicing
Performs intricate maintenance and servicing tasks.
AEROSPACE
Wire routing · Component insertion · Fastener handling
Performs complex assembly in confined spaces.
AUTOMATE
THE WORK.
NOT THE
WORKPLACE.
Human workspaces are already built for hands. TACTILIA brings robotic dexterity into these environments, without requiring every process to be redesigned around a machine. Where skilled workers are hard to find and expensive, that means higher productivity from the workstations you already have.
INDUSTRIAL VALUE:
- + HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY.
- + MORE FLEXIBILITY.
- + FASTER INTEGRATION.
- + FASTER ROI.
Across 15 CoLabs worldwide, robots learn what matters most: your specific process. Real-world applications are tested, robots are trained, and performance is validated until intelligent grasping becomes a reliable industrial capability.
EUROPEAN ENGINEERING.
INDUSTRIAL RELIABILITY.
GLOBAL AMBITION.
Developed with European engineering expertise, backed by over 1,000 SCHUNK specialists in product development and application engineering, and built for industrial reliability.
PHYSICAL AI FROM EUROPE. BUILT FOR YOUR INDUSTRY.
TRAINED IN 15 CoLabs.
WHERE WE BUILD.
MUNICH
A European hub for robotics. Hardware engineering, integration, and application development. This is where the hand platform comes together.
ZURICH
A hub for AI research and development. Grasping intelligence, skill training, and the software stack powering the robotic hands.
15 CoLabs WORLDWIDE
Validation around the clock on SCHUNK’s global test infrastructure. Real applications are tested and trained until they run reliably.
