By learning from human touch, robots can grip objects more safely and adapt to real-world conditions without massive training data.

Robots are becoming smarter and more common, but their ability to handle objects with human-like precision remains limited.

Recent research at Kennesaw State University is working to create robots that better understand movement, touch, and ...

An electronic glove equipped with sensitive sensors is the innovative creation from researchers aiming to one day provide ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

Robots now see the world with an ease that once belonged only to science fiction. They can recognise objects, navigate cluttered spaces and sort thousands of parcels an hour. But ask a robot to touch ...

Robots excel at many things, but having a good sense of touch is not among them. Whether dropping items or pinching them too tightly, which crushes the object, many robots struggle with these basic ...

As a researcher in soft robotics working on artificial skin and sensorised bodies, I’ve found that trying to give robots a sense of touch forces us to confront just how astonishingly sophisticated ...

A new technological advancement gives robotic systems a natural sense of touch without extra skins or sensors. With advanced force sensing and deep learning, this robot can feel where you touch, ...

Robots now see the world with an ease that once belonged only to science fiction. They can recognize objects, navigate cluttered spaces, and sort thousands of parcels an hour. But ask a robot to touch ...

Scientists create self-repairing robotic skin with pain detection and modular magnetic patches. The neuromorphic e-skin enables robots to sense harmful contact instantly.

A new study suggests humans can sense hidden objects without touching them, by detecting faint movements in sand. This unexpected form of “remote touch” challenges traditional ideas about how the ...
