Roborganic

Tactile Interface for Emotional AI

Roborganic is a next-generation tactile interface that transforms human-robot interaction through a flexible, responsive robotic skin. Unlike solutions that mimic human skin, Roborganic introduces a market-ready, non-biological approach to touch-based interaction. Its multi-air bladder system and embedded sensor arrays enable AI to interpret pressure, motion, and intent, creating a new form of social language through touch. Designed for assistive tech, consumer robotics, and emotional AI, Roborganic offers a scalable, intuitive, and dynamic way for robots to engage users through expressive and tactile real-time feedback.

JURY STATEMENT

Roborganic proposes a new approach to human-machine interaction through flexible and responsive robotic skin. Designed specifically for assistive technology and consumer robotics, it represents an intuitive and dynamic approach to the future development of robotics.

WINNER STATEMENT

We would like to thank our families, friends, loved ones, and the professors at Muthesius Kunsthochschule and National Cheng Kung University. We’re honored to receive the iF DESIGN STUDENT AWARD 2025. We hope that our project will inspire richer, more diverse social-tactile interactions between humans and robots.
