Introducing Silica. We make actuators 50x more sensitive at an affordable price, so that robots can feel the world around them. When I was at Apple, I developed technology that helped humans live more creative and connected lives. Now I make hardware for the training age, so that robots can begin to share that world with us. We just opened pre-orders. Check out http://silicamachines.com to learn more.
