Over the past few decades, we've seen two of the five human senses digitized:

With sound, we've witnessed music go from analog to digital, and technologies like Siri and Alexa infiltrate our personal and professional lives.

With vision, we've watched facial recognition software emerge on our phones, video surveillance and super advanced vision inspection systems on manufacturing production lines.

Youssef Benmokhtar, CEO of GelSight and the guest on this episode, is leading the company that's pioneering the digitization of a third human sense – touch. And what they're doing right now will open the door to limitless applications in manufacturing technology, and also in our daily lives.
