The term “robot” conjures up images from myriad science fiction movies, usually of robots trying to destroy humanity. So far, we are safe, at least for the time being. Our present-day robotics ...

Human-robot interaction (HRI) is becoming ubiquitous where both humans and robots perform tasks, while reliable robotic sensors are the prerequisite for efficient and safe HRI, especially in ...

As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its ...

A joint research team has developed a stretchable and adhesive microneedle sensor that can be attached to the skin and stably measure high-quality electrophysiological signals for a long period of ...

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 ...

Figure 1. Design and working concept of the Stretchable microNeedle Adhesive Patch (SNAP). (A) Schematic illustration showing the overall system configuration and application of SNAP. (B) Exploded ...

Researchers have developed a robotic sensor that incorporates artificial intelligence techniques to read braille at speeds roughly double that of most human readers. Researchers have developed a ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? The challenge for the human, prosthetic or robotic hand has always been to correctly learn to ...
