GelSight

GelSight is a technology company specializing in high-resolution tactile sensing and 3D surface imaging, originally developed at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). The company's proprietary technology uses a compliant elastomeric sensor to capture the microscopic topography of any surface with sub-micron precision, regardless of the material's lighting or transparency. In the healthcare and life sciences sectors, GelSight's portable handheld devices are utilized for dermatology, wound assessment, and the high-precision inspection of medical device components. By providing immediate digital 3D visualization and quantification, the platform replaces traditional manual inspection and qualitative tactile assessments with objective data. The company serves a broad range of industries, including aerospace, forensics, and robotics, alongside its clinical and medical manufacturing applications.
