A soft and sensitive electronic skin containing an array of capacitors that can measure the direction of applied pressure in real time might be used as the artificial skin of domestic robots in the ...

Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

Researchers have developed an L3 F-TOUCH sensor to enhance tactile capabilities in robots, allowing it to 'feel' objects and adjust its grip accordingly. Researchers from Queen Mary University of ...

A new flexible 'artificial skin' combines touch and chemical sensing, giving robots the ability to feel pressure while detecting molecules in their environment. Image ...

John Hopkins University is showing off their newest touch sensor for robots. Its flexible and wand-like antenna consists of six strain gauges that have been molded in urethane, giving it an accuracy ...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Sanctuary AI, a company developing physical AI for general purpose robots, announced the integration of new tactile sensor technology into its ...

Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique ...

Scientists are working on a tactile sensor that could one day lend a human touch to robotic hands. The new sensor responds to pressure and texture with a sensitivity and spatial resolution comparable ...
