According to its developers, Moonlight precisely measures force down to 0.1 N, making it possible for the system to handle even delicate objects. As such, the Moonlight adaptive parallel robot can polish and sand uneven surfaces while ensuring high-quality and thereby eliminating workpiece damage.

The Moonlight adaptive parallel robot is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2023.
