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 ...

MIT has developed an inexpensive sensor glove designed to enable artificial intelligence to figure out how humans identify objects by touch. Called the Scalable TActile Glove (STAG), it uses 550 tiny ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Because it is easily available, low-cost, insulating, flexible, and portable, paper has been recognized as a particular class of supporting matrix for accommodating biological or ...

I just finished testing a module capable of measuring a range of pressures! The experiment is centered around a small and inexpensive pressure sensor module available with the description “HX710B ...
