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 ...

The researchers behind the recent work, based in China, decided to implement something similar for an artificial skin that ...

Human skin transmits sensory information as electrical pulses, or spikes, that encode signals related to pressure and pain. NRE-skin mimics this biological process by converting pressure ...

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 ...

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 ...

Robots that move, sense and even coordinate with one another usually bring to mind tangled wires, circuit boards and humming ...

A new position-sensing solution comprising an IC, magnet, and calibration software promises to maintain higher performance while ensuring affordability in robotic joints. It does that by reducing the ...
