A new approach to simulating biologically inspired robotics can cut the design and training of tactile robots from eighteen ...

Robots are becoming increasingly capable in vision and movement, yet touch remains one of their major weaknesses. Now, researchers have developed a miniature tactile sensor that could give 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 ...

Robot navigation systems can be complicated to design — they need software algorithms, electronics, and mechanical components. They must be able to move accurately, and they need sensors to gather ...

Over the past two decades, humanoid robots have greatly improved their ability to perform functions like grasping objects and using computer vision to detect things since Honda’s release of the ASIMO ...

Scientists have already made edible robotic components. The next challenge is integrating them together to create an entire robot snack that could be used in a wide range of applications, from ...
