When a robotic arm touches a branch, the resulting sound waves travel down the robotic arm until they encounter the array of contact microphones. Tiny differences in sound wave properties (such as ...

S cientists have developed a new type of electronic "skin" that could give robots the ability to "feel" different tactile ...

Unlike traditional robotic skins that rely on a patchwork of different sensors, this material can detect pressure, temperature, pain, and even distinguish multiple contact points all at once. Skip ...

A mind-controlled robotic arm has pressure sensors in each fingertip that send signals directly to a paralyzed man's brain. It's still experimental, but could eventually help thousands, engineers say.

Scientists Bring The Sense Of Touch To A Robotic Arm : ... And most sensors ... like detecting resistance or temperature. When his own hand touches something, Brown says, "I feel the pressure, ...

To get him over the hump, it was time to try giving him real-time touch feedback from the robot arm. Human fingers sense pressure, and the resulting electrical signals zip along thread-like axons ...

Robotic arm named after Luke Skywalker ... He was able to feel up to 119 perceptions ranging from pressure to ... the prosthetic arm has sensors in its hand that send signals to the nerves via ...

Scientists have developed a robotic 3D-printed 'third thumb' that's controlled using pressure sensors on the underside of the big toes. The thumb, created by a researcher at University College ...

Researchers developed rubbery semiconductors for robotic and “smart” skins needed in gesture translation, haptic sensing for robotics, and implantable bioelectronics. It’s possible to make ...

They’re also weak. Existing soft robotic hands can only lift around 2.8 pounds. In contrast, our hands have both a rigid skeleton and soft tissues—muscles and tendons—that stretch, twist, and contract ...
