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 ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have found a way to give robots a sense of touch without relying on expensive artificial skin. This innovation, spearheaded by a team from the German ...

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 ...

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

Robots excel at many things, but having a good sense of touch is not among them. Whether dropping items or pinching them too tightly, which crushes the object, many robots struggle with these basic ...

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 ...
