Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

MMS Modular Molding Systems created a system using Stäubli robots to fully automate a tire pressure sensor assembly capable of producing a complete sensor every six seconds. The compact design of ...

Researchers took a leaf out of nature's book to develop 'eAir' -- a novel pressure sensing technology that promises to transform minimally-invasive surgeries and implantable sensors. This novel ...

Robots do not look human just yet, but soon they may get the "human touch." Researchers say they have developed a flexible sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and humidity simultaneously, and ...

A lot of time and energy is currently going into developing technologies that give robots a sense of touch. In particular, scientists are developing things like artificial skin that lets robots know ...

Recently SmartPlanet posted on the development of research that could lead to so-called robot-human love. Now comes another step toward more lovable (or at least soft) robots. A new type of sensor ...

Researchers at Simon Fraser University are developing "humanoid-sensing robots" that can measure a patient's blood pressure using a 3D-printed origami sensors on a simple touch relieving the burden of ...

An investigation into the lateral line sensing organ of African cichlid fish could lead to a low-cost pressure sensor for underwater robots. This is the claim of scientists at Bristol University who ...

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 their ...
