(Nanowerk News) In the future, soft robotic hands with advanced sensors could help diagnose and care for patients or act as more lifelike prostheses. But one roadblock to encoding soft robotic hands ...

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 ...

The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as pivotal phenomena. These effects underpin a new generation of tactile sensors ...

Microsoft launched Rho-alpha in late January 2026, a robot model that uses vision, language, and touch sensors for two-armed tasks.

The need for pressure sensors has been steadily increasing across diverse applications, from robotic grippers that need accurate tactile feedback to wearable devices that monitor human movement.

Robots are developed for a wide variety of uses. These include assembly, welding, monitoring marine life, rescue and recovery and even vacuuming the floor. Because of this, there is a multitude of ...
