A soft and sensitive electronic skin containing an array of capacitors that can measure the direction of applied pressure in real time might be used as the artificial skin of domestic robots in the ...

Humans can detect buried objects without touching them, sensing faint pressure ripples in sand. This seventh sense is called ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have found a way to give robots a sense of touch without relying on expensive artificial skin. This innovation, spearheaded by a team from the German ...

A new synthetic “skin” gives robots the human touch. The low-cost, durable and highly-sensitive material can be added to robotic hands just like a glove, say scientists. It enables automatons to ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

Researchers have developed an L3 F-TOUCH sensor to enhance tactile capabilities in robots, allowing it to 'feel' objects and adjust its grip accordingly. Researchers from Queen Mary University of ...
