Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a fully integrated, sensorized robot finger. Until now, touch sensors have been difficult to integrate into robot fingers. Among the challenges were ...

Chinese researchers have developed an omnidirectional soft bending sensor designed to be embedded in each finger of a ...

A new soft sensing system could help humanoid robots move their hands with far greater precision in delicate, human-like ...

Why and how a complicated robotic-finger design was improved by a research team. How this finger is used to dig into bulk materials to locate and “see” small objects. How the reflected image of the ...

When robots work in unstructured environments, the physical impact of bumps and collisions can be inevitable. The impact can damage the robots’ hardware systems. This is often the case for rigid multi ...

Tactile robots typically use dense arrays of sensors to detect pressure and texture. Most most robotic sensors today are ...

Researchers have made remarkable advancements in robotics, particularly with the introduction of a human-like robotic finger capable of performing routine medical examinations similar to those ...

Skin has traditionally been reserved for animals -- until now. For the first time, scientists learned to grow humanlike skin on a robotic finger using cells, a new study revealed. Other WRAL Top ...

(Nanowerk News) To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft ...

Researchers have developed an ultrasensitive, human-like robotic ‘finger’ capable of safely performing routine physical examinations like a medical doctor would. They say the ‘robodoctor’ could be ...
