Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

TOKYO, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- XELA Robotics (www.xelarobotics.com), a specialist in advanced 3D tactile sensor technology, has successfully integrated its uSkin (R) sensors into a Tesollo DG-5F ...

With a new contract from the U.S. Army, the University of Nevada, Reno is partnering with NevadaNano to develop a robotic flying vehicle that can be used for environmental health and safety monitoring ...

Imagine mobile sensor networks that run around, jump and maneuver in the air to get the job done. That's what Jianguo Zhao is working towards; his design for such networks involves ...

Make a safe robot involves sensors to detect problems before they become critical. One reasons robots can interact more closely with people is because of the improvements in sensors. As more robots ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Tel Aviv have developed a robot that can "smell" using an innovative biological sensor. The sensor transfers electrical information in response to the presence of an ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

Modern consumers crave touchscreens, but the screens' brittle fragility is their downfall. In order for sensors to cover anything larger — like a robot — the technology will need to be cost-effective ...

Textbooks that provide a broad algorithmic perspective on the mechanics and dynamics of robots almost unfailingly serve students at the graduate level. Introduction to Autonomous Robots offers a ...

Someday soon, older adults may not need to move into nursing homes because they'll have a household of technological wonders to keep an eye on them when they become frail. Like smart pets that never ...
