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 ...

Imagine a world where robots not only look like humans but also feel like us. Advanced technology has made this possible with ...

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 a flexible optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough that could pave the way for affordable, highly sensitive robotic touch. A team from Northwestern University and Israel’s Tel Aviv University discovered that a ...

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 ...
