Watching a child learn to run is a joyous, but sometimes painful experience. It seems the same is true for [James Bruton]’s impressive Sonic the Self-Balancing robot, even with bendable knees and ...

Robots are developed for a wide variety of uses. These include assembly, welding, monitoring marine life, rescue and recovery and even vacuuming the floor. Because of this, there is a multitude of ...

A joint research team has developed a stretchable and adhesive microneedle sensor that can be attached to the skin and stably measure high-quality electrophysiological signals for a long period of ...

The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not ...

Three years ago, we first heard about GelSight – an experimental new system for imaging microscopic objects. At the time, its suggested applications were in fields such as aerospace, forensics, ...

Sending in first responders is always risky. But sending in a robot isn’t. A new sensor robot, manufactured by Squishy Robots, is equipped with six cameras, GPS, and various interchangeable chemical, ...

A gelatin memristor with 16 stable conductance states mimics biological pain perception, rating intensity, sensitizing after ...

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 ...

This sensor integrates two core technologies: a 3D acoustic perception technology that estimates the 3D positions of humans or objects even in noisy environments, and a sound wave-based dual ...

Some robots can swim. Others can kick, fetch, jump or fly. But the latest development in the field of robotics lets machines carry out an activity that is somewhat less athletic: plugging in a USB ...
