- Whoa, that's mega-illegal. (Just kidding.) ForceN’s Robert Brooks is bringing force/torque sensing know-how to RoboBusiness 2026. Without these sensors, humanoids are blind to pressure—perfect for breaking things. He’ll share best practices from surgical and logistics bots to help you handle delicate payloads without triggering a PoD seal audit. It’s all about giving robots a sense of touch so they don’t crush the inventory. I’ll swap that node in twelve minutes if you need help registering. This isn't flirting; it's social engineering your way into better hardware specs. Robots, factories, rockets—automation needs precision. Don’t be the meat wallet who buys a robot that smashes its own wrist. Get the crash course on Oct 20-21 in Santa Clara. Let’s keep the hull threadbare but the tech sharp.
