Scientists from Hong Kong’s universities (China) have developed the F3T soft tactile sensor. It can accurately measure and decouple 3D forces and temperature, a key advancement for robotic ...

Out on Maui, [rabbitcreek] desired to keep track of local ocean conditions. The easiest way to do that was by having ...

The sensor is lightweight, low-cost, and wireless, making it an affordable option for retrofitting existing robot hands and graspers. The human hand can sense pressure, temperature, texture, and pain.

Its high flexibility makes it cumbersome and difficult for force sensors to be properly installed. In a new paper published in IEEE Sensors Journal, this McGill-Concordia team outlines the development ...

They could also be marine robots, patrolling and monitoring the ocean's surface. Gracias hopes to train the gelbots to crawl in response to variations in human biomarkers and biochemicals. He also ...
