• Synaptics identified sensor reliability, rather than data volume or resolution, as the main barrier to commercial deployment of dexterous robotic hands.
• Sensor drift, material wear and lingering force readings remain largely unresolved, limiting dependable operation over repeated use.
• Hybrid capacitive systems offer a clearer path to mass production, the analysis argued, combining scalable manufacturing with high-frequency sensing.
