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 ...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Sanctuary AI, a company developing physical AI for general purpose robots, announced the integration of new tactile sensor technology into its ...

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 ...

Human hands are a wonder of nature and unmatched in the animal kingdom. They can twist caps, flick switches, handle tiny objects with ease, and perform thousands of tasks every day. Robot hands ...

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.

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 ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a fully integrated, sensorized robot finger. Until now, touch sensors have been difficult to integrate into robot fingers. Among the challenges were ...

John Hopkins University is showing off their newest touch sensor for robots. Its flexible and wand-like antenna consists of six strain gauges that have been molded in urethane, giving it an accuracy ...

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 ...
