Bioinspired e-skin could help domestic robots sense touch 23 Nov 2018 Isabelle Dumé Spinosum inspires e-skin A soft and sensitive electronic skin containing an array of capacitors that can measure the ...

In order for robots to operate safely around humans, they need to see that people are approaching and they need to know when ...

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 ...

A new synthetic “skin” gives robots the human touch. The low-cost, durable and highly-sensitive material can be added to robotic hands just like a glove, say scientists. It enables automatons ...

The flexible oe-skin sensor offers real-time pressure and chemical detection, paving the way for robots to interact more naturally with their environment.

Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson reveals how scientists developed a method for robots to sense touch using AI and sensors.

Researchers have developed an L3 F-TOUCH sensor to enhance tactile capabilities in robots, allowing it to 'feel' objects and adjust its grip accordingly.

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

Designed by Toshiyuki Kita, the automated domestic diva gets around on wheels and is powered by rechargeable batteries. Even during charging, the Linux-powered bot uses controllers and sensors to ...
