An undergraduate exchange student develops improved tactile sensor technology for surgical robotics as part of an internship ...

ARTIFICIAL skin embedded with optical sensors could help robots develop a more human touch. Existing sensors, such as those based on simple pressure switches and motor resistance, are limited in ...

Industrial robotics is on track to be worth around $20 billion by 2020, but while it may have something in common with other categories of cutting-edge tech — innovative use of artificial ...

Using predetermined algorithms, the signals from the paired sensors can generate a patient's systolic and diastolic blood pressure without using the traditional cuff-based digital sphygmomanometer.

TakkTile is an inexpensive new sensor that gives robots a sense of touch. ... it’s capable of detecting how much pressure the robot is placing on objects that it’s grasping.

Self-powered sensors transform robotics technology. ... By decoupling responses from multiple stimuli, such as pressure and temperature, sensors can achieve greater accuracy and reliability.

One of the biggest challenges in robotics engineering is mimicking the human sense of touch. The ability to respond to texture and pressure is essential for delicate tasks, such as surgery.

When it comes to robotics and prosthetics, it’s all about replicating real human motions. A key goal in the development of effective prosthetics has been to find ways to ensure they are able to sense ...

Sphero has announced another rolling ball robot called the Sphero BOLT. The Sphero BOLT follows in the company’s ethos of having a commitment to education-based products, but comes with some ...

One of the fastest-growing tech startups in Germany is a company that helps people program robots without writing a line of code. Only a year old, the quick success of Dresden-based Wandelbots ...
