Description
this is shark Supreme haptic actuation release collector or in other words it's a keyboard tester this 3D laser profiler actually scans the whole keyboard and gives us a 3D Point Cloud once it captures the point Cloud it automatically filters and segments the keys for us it can detect the maximum height on the keyboard so we have a safe position to travel to shark is now going to test every key on the keyboard and collect over 16 000 data points per key all of this data is then fed back up into our in-house data ingest server which we use for all of our tooling now that we have our laser profiler and big shout out to our friends over at polygon Burnaby they hooked us up getting this really quickly and now it's absolutely fantastic we've got plans for over 200 keyboards to test by the end of the year
In this short, the team showcases their new "Shark Supreme Haptic Actuation Release" robot, a 3D laser profiler that scans an entire keyboard and generates a detailed point cloud. The device automatically filters and segments each key, allowing the system to detect the maximum height and position for precise travel. With over 16,000 data points collected per key, the data is fed into an in‑house ingest server for further analysis and tooling. The video highlights the integration with Polygon Burnaby’s software, and the team mentions plans to test more than 200 keyboards by year‑end, underscoring the lab’s growing capacity. Overall, the clip is concise yet informative, giving viewers a clear sense of the robot’s capabilities and future testing roadmap.
Viewers respond positively, noting the clarity of the explanation and the enthusiasm for future testing. Comments praise the robot’s data collection and express interest in deeper technical dives into the lab’s equipment. The community also appreciates the concise editing and the promise of testing 200 keyboards, indicating strong engagement and support for the project.
