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 ...

There are three main categories of sensors used in robotic applications, position, force, and pressure. Alongside those, there may be additional types needed for specific tasks, such as temperature or ...

A good artificial skin must replicate this ability. In particular, an electronic skin, or e-skin, needs to be highly sensitive to touch, while also responding quickly to applied pressure. To achieve ...

The sensors can measure strain, pressure, human touch and bioelectronic signals such as electrocardiograms. ... Silver nanowire sensors hold promise for prosthetics, robotics Date: January 16, 2014 ...

The 'skin-like' sensor unveiled by Stanford University scientists can 'feel' just like human skin - but is far, far tougher. It could be used for advanced prosthetic limbs - or to create robots ...

One of the biggest challenges in robotics engineering is mimicking the human sense of touch. The ability to respond to texture and pressure is essential for delicate tasks, such as surgery. To ...

The research and the design principles for sensors the team established can be applied to improving the performance of electronic skins as well as for soft robots, Po-Yen said. Anatomy of Sensors ...

In this paper, a flexible tension-pressure tactile sensitive sensor array is proposed for intelligent robot skin to detect external pressure in the case of tensile and bendability condition. Such ...
