PORTLAND, OREGON, USA, November 16, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sensobright, a leading innovator in tactile sensing technology, announced Thursday that Jim Vogt has joined the company as their CEO.

Mr. Vogt is a dynamic, adaptive executive and has been in the San Francisco Bay Area working both in public and private technology companies since 1985. He has focused on enterprise software and has spent most of his career in networking, security, storage, and compute infrastructure. As infrastructure became virtualized and transitioned to the cloud, he built enterprise software-based businesses including security, cloud-based and hosted infrastructure (IaaS), software defined data center (SDDC), containers, and micro services. Most recently he was engaged with a start-up in Data Science leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. He has successfully built and turned around businesses, created sustained growth and taken share in a mix of market conditions. He has raised over $140M in private capital and has executed on both the buy and sell side of acquisitions. Most notably, he held CEO roles at Ingrian Networks (acquired by SafeNet), Trapeze Networks (acquired by Belden), and built Blue Coat’s Cloud based security business (acquired by Broadcom).

Mr. Vogt stated, “I am excited about Sensobright and our innovative tactile sensing technology. We are clearly bringing the sense of touch to all aspects of robotics and AI empowered solutions. Our goal is to be the de-facto tactile sensor for all automated and AI driven products and peripherals.”

Prof. Dr. Utku Buyuksahin, Founder and CTO added, “We are excited to have Jim on board and are confident that he will be instrumental in building our company and scaling it forward. His broad technical market and product background and experience with private companies will be critical and extremely useful as we raise further capital, commercialize our technology and scale our business and company.”

PORTLAND, OREGON, USA, November 28, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sensobright, a leading innovator in tactile sensing technology, announced Tuesday it had been recognized as the Tactile Sensing Company of the Year 2023 by Acquisition International, a global media and technology magazine. This coveted accolade was awarded in recognition of Sensobright's relentless commitment to pioneering tactile sensing solutions that are transforming industries across the globe.

The Tactile Sensing Company of the Year award acknowledges Sensobright's outstanding contributions to the field of tactile sensing. Able to collect multidimensional touch data across all major human sensory inputs including force, pressure, shear, shape, temperature, and even pain, Sensobright’s flagship tactile sensors are the first and only tactile sensors to achieve sensitivity and resolution eclipsing human touch sensing abilities.

The company's revolutionary tactile sensing technology has found applications in various industries, with applications in aviation, automotive, robotics, healthcare & MedTech, as well as consumer electronics & home automation.

Jim Vogt, CEO at Sensobright, expressed his pride and gratitude upon receiving this esteemed award, saying, “Our mission has always been to push the boundaries of tactile sensing technology and to break the last barrier of human sensory superiority over technology by developing touch sensing technologies for robots, vehicles, aircraft, medical devices, machines, and other devices that surpass human sensitivity and resolution. Being recognized as the Tactile Sensing Company of the Year reaffirms Sensobright’s commitment to providing the best tactile sensing solutions to our customers worldwide.”

The extensive set of features and functionalities offered by the company’s tactile sensors played a crucial role in Sensobright securing the award. The sensors are bendable and flexible and immune to liquids and magnetic interference allowing for reliable use under extreme conditions. They are also extraordinarily sensitive and can detect forces smaller than 0.001 N (0.1 grams) providing for an impressive array of capabilities that can lead to improved robotic manipulation and gripping, and multidimensional data gathering that can power AI.

Sensobright’s Founder & CTO, Prof. Dr. Utku Buyuksahin, further emphasized the importance of tactile sensing in today's tech-driven world, stating, "In a world where touch is absolutely vital, Sensobright is proud to be at the forefront of tactile sensing innovation. Our technology has the potential to transform industries and improve the quality of life for people everywhere."

In addition to sensing touch via physical contact, Sensobright’s tactile sensors can also sense via proximity without physical contact opening up a wide range of safety and surrounding sensing applications for industrial robots and COBOTS. Sensobright's leading products, including its tactile fingertip sensors, smart surface tech, COBOT safety sensing solutions and laparoscopic surgery system, have set new industry standards and continue to inspire innovation across various sectors.

This recognition as the Tactile Sensing Company of the Year 2023 by Acquisition International solidifies Sensobright's position as a leader in the tactile sensing industry. The company remains committed to pushing the boundaries of its technology and looks forward to introducing even more groundbreaking solutions in the future.
