6thSense
San Francisco, United States
Robotics Components · Founded 2026 · Seed
6thSense builds tactile capture hardware for robot learning, giving robots a sense of touch that cameras cannot provide. Its products include Skin, a wearable tactile sensor with a 464-channel array, and Eye2 Pro, a stereo egocentric camera synced to touch data. The company's pitch is that vision tells a robot what to pick, while force data tells it how hard to grip. Its own site cites research suggesting touch raises manipulation success well above vision alone. 6thSense is a small Y Combinator S26 startup based in San Francisco, with a hardware, firmware, software and data team that captures its own training data.
