To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their ...

Researchers from China’s Northeast Normal University have developed a novel soft, jelly-like electronic “pain nerve” that ...

XJCSENSOR, a leading manufacturer of force sensors and force-control solutions, has introduced a MEMS sensor that provides ...

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 ...

It’s the metal, plastic, and wires that give the robot its shape and allow it to move around. Engineers in this field design ...

As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? The challenge for the human, prosthetic or robotic hand has always been to correctly learn to ...

The term “robot” conjures up images from myriad science fiction movies, usually of robots trying to destroy humanity. So far, we are safe, at least for the time being. Our present-day robotics ...

Human-robot interaction (HRI) is becoming ubiquitous where both humans and robots perform tasks, while reliable robotic sensors are the prerequisite for efficient and safe HRI, especially in ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...
