Using a 3D-printed material sensitive to electric fields, researchers have created a novel sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away ...

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 ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

Plus: Neuralink's second trial with a human patient appears to have been a success This is today's edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what's going on in the ...

As we move into a world where human-machine interactions are becoming more prominent, pressure sensors that are able to analyze and simulate human touch are likely to grow in demand. As we move into a ...

Meta made several major announcements for robotics and embodied AI systems this week. This includes releasing benchmarks and artifacts for better understanding and interacting with the physical world.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Our skin endows us with a profoundly multifaceted sensory awareness unmatched in machines. Human touch conveys intricate patterns of pressure, thermal flow and subsurface textures ...
