Aimed at robot hands and grippers, Tactaxis from Melexis is a soft tactile sensor prototype that outputs a measure of the 3D force vector acting on its surface. “This improves robots’ hands and ...
A research team has developed a new soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics. A robotic gripper with the sensor mounted at the fingertip could accomplish challenging tasks such as ...
At CES, Electronic Design talked with Japan-based FingerVision CEO Yuji Nono about his company’s approach to tactile sensors. Inside the gripper lives an optical-based tactile sensor with ...
Researchers have created a thin-film tactile sensor that, in some ways, is as sensitive as the human finger. When pressed against a textured object, the film creates a topographical map of the surface ...
Atlanta, Georgia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 28, 2025) - From May 19 to 23, the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2025) was held in Atlanta, USA, drawing more than 7,000 ...
Ensuring Technology provides the answer: only when they can truly replicate the human sense of touch. From January 6th to 9th ...
A new robotic system based on the Etruscan pygmy shrew can navigate by using tactile whisker sensors to build up a probabilistic map of its environment. Shrewbot is the latest application of the ...
A joint research team co-led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a new soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics. A robotic gripper with the sensor mounted at the ...
