About
Aito provides touch interface chips that enable any surface to become a touch interface, with one AitoChip capable of controlling multiple buttons on a user interface. The chip's sensitivity is individually programmable for each button, supporting audio and haptic feedback for enhanced user interaction. Aito's technology uses capacitive sensing to detect touch, proximity, and force on metallic and non-metallic surfaces, enabling intuitive controls for consumer electronics, automotive interiors, home appliances, and industrial equipment. The company's chips offer advantages including water tolerance, operation through thick overlays, and multi-touch capability, making them suitable for harsh environments where traditional touch sensors fail. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Aito has raised approximately $23.5 million in Series D funding from investors including Inkef, Innovation Industries, FORWARD.one, and KBC Focus Fund.
