Ultra-thin, highly sensitive electronic skin could plug this major robotics gap – edge processing could improve latency.

Researchers in Germany have developed an elastomer-based electronic skin (e-skin) with integrated artificial hair that perceives — and, indeed, anticipates — touch from different directions. The ...

As artificial intelligence continues to make machines smarter, advances in sensing technology are helping them become more responsive to the physical world. The ultimate goal is to create robots that ...

If you had to rank the most powerful sense, which would you choose? Over 88 percent of participants in a 2016 survey ranked vision as their most important sense, followed by hearing in a distant ...

The following is the first part of a series on brain-machine integration and biomechanical solutions to restore function to tissues damaged by disease, trauma, or time. Researchers have developed ...

Sensing a hug from each other via the internet may be a possibility in the near future. A research team recently developed a wireless, soft e-skin that can both detect and deliver the sense of touch, ...

While technology is making major strides in absorbing our eyes and ears in virtual worlds, it’s harder to engage senses like touch. Engineers at the City University of Hong Kong have now developed ...

A new dual-gated sensor architecture could give robots and prosthetics adjustable touch and proximity sensing while supporting denser, scalable electronic ...

Scientists have developed a new approach for miniaturization of soft ultra-compact and highly integrated sensor units for directional tactile sensitivity in e-skin systems. A research team from ...
