A pioneering project to develop advanced sensors for use in robotic systems, could transform prosthetics and robotic limbs. The research project – led by University of the West of Scotland (UWS), ...

The more intelligent and autonomous robotics systems become, the more attractive—and vulnerable—they are to cyber threats.

Robots are able to conduct a lot of tasks more efficiently than their human counterparts, but activities that require fine motor skill were once out of grasp - but researchers are moving in the right ...

Scientists created robots controlled by signals come from mycelia - the branching underground networks that support mushrooms ...

Robotic sensors market size was valued at $1.8 billion in 2021, is projected to reach $4.9 billion by 2031, grow at a CAGR of 10.78% from 2022 to 2031. In 2021, the force/torque sensor segment ...

Force/torque (F/T) sensors are critical components of robot systems used for assembly, test, and other applications. Sensor systems help robots verify part insertion, apply a constant force during ...

Three years ago, we first heard about GelSight – an experimental new system for imaging microscopic objects. At the time, its suggested applications were in fields such as aerospace, forensics, ...

A robot's sensitivity to small textural details, softness, and other tactile features relies, in part, on the performance of its sensors. These optic sensors from Cornell are 3D printed for easy ...

en we think of robots, we all too often anthropomorphize them by giving them eyes in their heads, fingers on their hands, and toes on their feet. But just because this is the way humans evolved ...

Robotic collision sensors are crash protection devices that detect a crash before or during a collision. A collision sensor sends a signal back to the robot’s brain (robot controller) in such ...

Watching a child learn to run is a joyous, but sometimes painful experience. It seems the same is true for [James Bruton]’s impressive Sonic the Self-Balancing robot, even with bendable knees and ...
