An innovative bimanual robot displays tactile sensitivity close to human-level dexterity using AI to inform its actions. The new Bi-Touch system, designed by scientists at the University of Bristol ...

Estimating the location of contact is a primary function of artificial tactile sensing apparatuses that perceive the environment through touch. Existing contact localization methods use flat geometry ...

Piezoelectric and triboelectric tactile sensors are designed to convert mechanical stimuli into electrical signals, making them critical components in intelligent systems. Piezoelectric sensors ...

A new tactile sensor can detect surface shapes and structures, showing advantages over existing sensors, according to new research. A team of researchers have developed an artificial tactile sensor ...

Each fingertip has more than 3,000 touch receptors, which largely respond to pressure. Humans rely heavily on sensation in their fingertips when manipulating an object. The lack of this sensation ...

Nathan Copeland, who is functionally paralyzed from the neck down, works with researchers while attempting to move a robotic arm with his mind on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016. A robotic arm developed by ...

Prosthetic arm with a bionic hand which detects tactile stimulation and sends that sensory signal to the brain. Neuroscientists have found that people with bionic hands can't seem to retrain the brain ...
