An array of sensors provides simultaneous localization ... have quick release capabilities (Fig. 2). 2. The robot is a collection of mounting arrays, holes, and rail systems to take advantage ...

A research team has developed a novel auditory technology that allows the recognition of human positions using only a single ...

They've incorporated it into an ultra-sensitive tactile sensor for robots. First of all, here's how MIT's basic GelSight technology works, as described in our previous article ... A slab of clear ...

Now comes another step toward more lovable (or at least soft) robots. A new type of sensor might enable us to poke a robot as if it had the squishy belly button of the Pillsbury Dough boy.

Though self-driving cars may eventually move into everyday life, autonomous robots are already wandering the halls of warehouses, moving materials. Self-driving cars have certainly reaped the ...

Researchers have equipped a robot with a novel tactile sensor that lets it grasp a USB cable draped freely over a hook and insert it into a USB port. Researchers at MIT and Northeastern University ...

Researchers at USC's Viterbi School of Engineering have developed a robot capable of identifying materials, thanks to a tactile sensor. The so-called BioTac sensor mimics the human finger ...

A robot's sensitivity to touch could be vastly improved by an array of polymer-based tactile sensors that has been combined with a robust signal-processing algorithm to classify surface textures.

A layer of rubber is vacuum-sealed onto it. When the sensor is then mounted on a robot’s hand, it’s capable of detecting how much pressure the robot is placing on objects that it’s grasping.

New electromyography (EMG) sensor technology that allows the long-term stable control of wearable robots and is not affected by the wearer's sweat and dead skin has gained attention recently.
