国泰海通发布研报称，头部人形机器人或灵巧手厂家陆续推出迭代的触觉方案，触觉由手向身体其他部 位扩散应用，触觉传感器成本快速收敛。触觉成为当前人形机器人落地商用的一大瓶颈，触觉传感技术 方案百家争鸣，当前产业优选电容与霍尔效应两类技术。未来触觉传感在人形机器人应用有望从手向手 臂、足部、躯干和头部渗透，行业空间持续打开。建议重点关注触觉传感器行业，受益标的包括汉威科 技（300007）(300007.SZ)、福莱新材（605488）(605488.SH)、柯力传感（603662）(603662.SH)、祥源 新材（300980）(300980.SZ)(材料供应商)。 国泰海通主要观点如下： 无触不成手，无手则无实用的人形机器人 根据美国劳工局统计，约99%的工作需要人手的灵活性与手指的精细操作。触觉的本质在于提供反馈， 手无反馈则无法处理各类日常任务，进而不足以称为灵巧手，而无灵巧手则不足以支撑人形机器人走入 千家万户。 弹性体感知力产生变形，高分辨率相机通过LED灯打光进行高频拍照记录弹性体变形的图像，之后通过 图像处理算法完成对力的拟合。VBTS路线可实现1mN的力感知、微米级空间分辨率，最接近人手指尖 触 ...
