A team at MIT’s CSAIL demonstrated a new kind of “skin” designed to bring a sense of touch and place to soft robotic arms. The findings, which debuted in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters this ...

Human-robot interaction (HRI) is becoming ubiquitous where both humans and robots perform tasks, while reliable robotic sensors are the prerequisite for efficient and safe HRI, especially in ...

High-resolution tactile sensors are very helpful to robots for fine-grained perception and manipulation tasks, but designing those sensors is challenging. This is because the designs are based on the ...

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 ...

Compliant strain sensors are crucial for soft robots’ perception and autonomy. However, their deformable bodies and dynamic actuation pose challenges in predictive sensor manufacturing and long-term ...

As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its ...

ETRI researchers have successfully developed a robotic finger capable of precisely detecting omnidirectional pressure. The development of intelligent robotic hand technology, which can adjust its grip ...

The Vision 60 is an all-weather ground drone that employs a proprietary blind-mode control methodology that allows for movement over rough terrain. It employs cameras and 3D imaging, but the robot can ...

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 ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...
