This means that in addition to being used in prosthetics and giving a humanlike "sense of touch" to robots, the sensor could be used in an early warning system to detect abnormal temperatures and tiny ...

Using a 3D-printed material sensitive to electric fields, researchers have created a novel sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away ...

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