Tactile Robotics

Today, we pause.
We remember the courage, the sacrifice, and the countless lives devoted to protecting our peace and freedom.
Remembrance Day is not just a moment of silence; it is a moment of gratitude.
To honor those who served, those who never returned, and those who continue to serve today.

Lest we forget. 🇨🇦

Exciting News from Tactile Robotics!

We are happy to announce the opening of our new R&D office at the University of Manitoba’s Smartpark Innovation Hub!

It feels great to be back at our home university, where our journey first began.

We spent over five years at Smartpark in the early days of Tactile Robotics, and it’s inspiring to return as we expand our research and development in AI, robotics, and MedTech innovation.

Here’s to the next chapter of innovation, collaboration, and growth - right here in Manitoba!

🎉 Exciting Milestone for Tactile Robotics!

We are proud to announce that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has officially granted our new patent - US 12,354,492.

This patent strengthens our IP portfolio in dental education and haptic simulation, covering an advanced training system that uses vibrotactile feedback to help dental students and professionals practice procedures more effectively.

Through this innovation, we continue to bridge robotics, sensory intelligence, and education, empowering a new generation of learners with immersive, data-driven training experiences.

A special thank you to our dedicated team, collaborators, and our patent counsel, Ryan W. Dupuis and Michael R. Williams, for their expert guidance through the process.

Innovation through touch - advancing the future of dental and medical training, one patent at a time.

A long-term dream came true today. At the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Virginia, I had the chance to see both the Mars Pathfinder Sojourner rover and the Canadarm up close.

As a Killam Laureate postdoc on the neuroArm project, I worked with the surgical robot developed as a scaled-down adaptation of the Canadarm. I published several papers on it and always wondered what the original looked like in person.

Seeing it today was both inspiring and a reminder of how innovation in one field can transform another.

Had a great visit today at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.

Post-implementation and customer care follow-up with their team, ensuring satisfaction, support, and continued success with our technology.

Always rewarding to see our solutions in action and hear directly from educators and practitioners on how we can keep making an impact in dental education.

We have installed PrepScanner units at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry!

Very proud to announce the successful installation of a PrepScanner™ unit at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.

It’s truly inspiring to see visionary dental educators embracing innovative tools to advance learning, streamline assessments, and support competency-based education.

PrepScanner™ empowers dental schools to:
• Objectively assess student preps using standardized digital rubrics
• Save valuable faculty time through automated grading workflows
• Provide detailed feedback to improve student performance
• Align clinical training with evolving academic and industry standards

We’re excited to support the next generation of dental professionals and grateful to work alongside institutions that lead with innovation.
