A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240005, discusses advances in optical micronanofiber enabled tactile sensors and soft actuators. As a perfect combination of ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...

While engineers have long optimised electronics for performance, efficiency and form factor, a shift is now underway ...

(Nanowerk News) Humans have always been fascinated by scales different than theirs, from giant objects such as stars, planets and galaxies, to the world of the tiny: insects, bacteria, viruses and ...

Melexis unveiled its Tactaxis prototype, a magnetometer with an elastomer and a magnet embedded inside that measures force in three directions. Melexis' Tactaxis integrated tactile sensor is a compact ...

Robots now see the world with an ease that once belonged only to science fiction. They can recognise objects, navigate ...

Engineers from MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have developed a prosthetic hand that precisely inflates individual fingers to take hold of objects, while also providing the user with tactile ...

Soft sensors, also known as virtual sensors, are software that can process hundreds of measurements in combination. Plant managers who want to add soft sensors may be overwhelmed by the scope of ...
