## Common questions

### What is eFlesh?

eFlesh is an NYU open-source magnetic tactile sensor that embeds off-the-shelf magnets in 3D-printed cut-cell microstructures and reads contact forces with a magnetometer board. Designed to be low-cost and customizable for robot hands, grippers, and feet in unstructured environments.

### How much does eFlesh cost?

eFlesh's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for eFlesh from New York University. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
