A wave of recent research has brought robotic touch sensitivity closer to human fingertips than ever before, driven by ...

In the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers addressed the challenge of balancing physical resolution ...

The T-2000 tactile sensor system uses a conformable array of pressure sensors to quantify the sense of touch. Designed to easily bend and form to objects with complex shapes such as the human hand, ...

Robots are becoming increasingly capable in vision and movement, yet touch remains one of their major weaknesses. Now, researchers have developed a miniature tactile sensor that could give robots ...

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

My topic of research was developing an optical tactile sensor to track head motion during radiotherapy. I worked on both the hardware and software development of this sensor, though my focus was ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Tactile sensors have become essential in robotics, prosthetics, wearable devices, and healthcare monitoring. By detecting and ...

(a) Illustration of tactile challenges faced by Braille beginners. Overlapping receptive fields and strain diffusion produce blurred tactile information, often requiring repeated single‐point ...

New research suggests that a novel method for simulating biologically inspired robots could reduce the design and training time for tactile systems from 18 months to just two weeks.

At CES, Electronic Design talked with Japan-based FingerVision CEO Yuji Nono about his company’s approach to tactile sensors. Inside the gripper lives an optical-based tactile sensor with ...
