Technology Development Pathways
How should each bottleneck technology be engineered and manufactured?
Chapter summary
The report sets a recommended engineering route for each Tier 1 technology, with target specifications and cost structure at volume, and a staged manufacturing approach that limits early capital.
Key takeaways
- 1
Tactile: a capacitive array first (18–24 months to production), with piezoresistive enhancement in months 12–30.
- 2
At 1M units a year, tactile sensor cost falls to $28–45 per unit.
- 3
Grippers: start with contract manufacturing ($35–50M) and move in-house above 25,000 units a year.
