Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent study, ...

Researchers have built AI models that take raw camera images and joint-position readings from robot arms and convert them directly into physical actions, skipping the hand-coded perception pipelines ...

Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor ...

As the boundaries between robots and collaborative robots (cobots) fade, the need for fast, agile and uncaged robot systems grows rapidly. Today’s cobots typically rely on power- and force-limiting ...
