Sensors allow robots to be aware of their surroundings and react dynamically to changes, says Mark J Donovan of AMS. The classic image of the robot in a factory is a vast arm stretching to perform ...

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, ...

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 ...

It might not be Van Gogh, but this robot’s work certainly provokes a reaction. When let loose on paper, the robot runs riot drawing bold, bizarre and seemingly random shapes. The machine, named Robo ...

A joint research team has developed a stretchable and adhesive microneedle sensor that can be attached to the skin and stably measure high-quality electrophysiological signals for a long period of ...
