Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Written by Andrew Nusca, Contributor Dec. 3, 2009 at 2:20 a.m. PT ...

MIT has developed an inexpensive sensor glove designed to enable artificial intelligence to figure out how humans identify objects by touch. Called the Scalable TActile Glove (STAG), it uses 550 ...

Scientists unveil a low-cost, gelatin-based robotic skin that senses touch, heat, and cuts. The skin could give robots and ...

Loomia created its tactile sensing developer kit after surveying 100 engineers as part of the NSF I-Corps program.

Using a relatively simple system – a mannequin’s arm with pressure sensors, ... First steps towards the touch robot Date: October 24, 2016 Source: University of Twente Summary: ...

A good artificial skin must replicate this ability. In particular, an electronic skin, or e-skin, needs to be highly sensitive to touch, while also responding quickly to applied pressure. To achieve ...

“In addition, it is easy to expand the circuit boards to later include other sensors, for example, pressure.” Right now, the researchers only have a small, 15-chip array on a robot arm.

TakkTile is an inexpensive new sensor that gives robots a sense of touch. ... it’s capable of detecting how much pressure the robot is placing on objects that it’s grasping.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and University College London have developed a new type of responsive “ synthetic skin .” The skin is made from a single hydrogel that is capable of ...

Robots do not look human just yet, but soon they may get the "human touch." Researchers say they have developed a flexible sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and humidity simultaneously ...

The robot can gather blood pressure readings by simply touching a patient’s chest. The sensors on the robot's hands then collect both electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG) information, ...

ARTIFICIAL skin embedded with optical sensors could help robots develop a more human touch. Existing sensors, such as those based on simple pressure switches and motor resistance, are limited in ...
