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 ...

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself. Researchers at Northwestern University and Israel's Tel Aviv ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers overcome a long-time challenge of flexible touch sensors, demonstrating high repeatability after careful contact preparation Researchers warn of a native insulation layer that covers ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
