A wave of recent research has brought robotic touch sensitivity closer to human fingertips than ever before, driven by graphene-based composites and machine learning that let artificial skins detect ...

Robots are becoming increasingly capable in vision and movement, yet touch remains one of their major weaknesses. Now, ...

Robots have become remarkably good at seeing and moving, but their sense of touch still lags far behind that of humans. A new ...

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 ...

Researchers at China’s Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School have developed a next-generation tactile sensor called SuperTac. The project involved collaboration with multiple ...
