Robots do not look human just yet, but soon they may get the "human touch." Researchers say they have developed a flexible sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and humidity simultaneously, and ...

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have engineered a breakthrough in robotic vision.

The latest force torque sensors provide the levels of sensitivity and reliability needed for industrial cobot applications.

When your arm moves inside a loose shirt, the fabric does not simply follow along. It ripples, folds, and shifts in ways that exaggerate motion. Those subtle distortions, long treated as measurement ...

Luggage lying around unattended at an airport justifiably triggers the jitters. The hazardous task of getting up close to inspect what could potentially be a bomb that could explode any time ...

Robots could soon handle objects with the same dexterity as humans thanks to a flexible sensor skin developed by engineers from the University of Washington and UCLA. Bio-inspired sensor skin wraps ...

A lot of time and energy is currently going into developing technologies that give robots a sense of touch. In particular, scientists are developing things like artificial skin that lets robots know ...

Robot navigation systems can be complicated to design — they need software algorithms, electronics, and mechanical components. They must be able to move accurately, and they need sensors to gather ...

Sensors allow robots to be aware of their surroundings and react dynamically to changes, says Mark J Donovan of AMS. The classic image of the robot in a factory is a vast arm stretching to perform ...
