Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

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 ...

Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. The two began working together last ...

In a world increasingly dominated by touchscreens, a London design studio is taking an approach to touch that's both low(er)-tech and innovative at the same time. Bare Conductive raised over ...

HumTouch detects the current that runs from our fingertips to any partially conductive surface and locates where it was touched. The new algorithm speeds up calibration for new users, solving a major ...

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 ...

The Oculus Team have published a detailed guide on Roomscale VR setup. This four-part series expands on the Experimental Roomscale Guide published before the launch of the Touch controllers, ...

Lithium can alleviate the symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression - if taken in just the right amount. Too little won't work, while too much can bring on dangerous side effects. To precisely ...
