The increase in popularity of wearable devices, such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, and healthcare monitoring devices, was a key driver for flexible sensors. These sensors are often more ...

The director has always been captivated by the relationship between humans and technology, and this idea appears early in F1 ...

New robotic skin gives machines the power to feel through hydrogel sensors and AI, revolutionizing prosthetics and human-robot interaction.

Researchers at the University of Münster have developed a fully inkjet-printable humidity sensor made from sustainable ...

Scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) are tracking the human body's water levels to ...

“Our method is flexible and easier to build than traditional sensors, and we’re able to calibrate it using human touch for a range of tasks.” Researchers poked, burned, and slashed a robot ...

The rest of the body is blanketed in soft, pale hairs called vellus hairs, which wick sweat to keep us cool, and thicker, more visible guard hairs, which protect the skin against damage from rubbing ...

This developmental gap stems largely from the extraordinary complexity of human touch. The sense of touch involves different types of mechanoreceptors (or sensors) — each with its own sensitivity and ...

Researchers have developed a method to give robots an innate sense of touch by integrating their internal force-torque sensors with machine learning algorithms. The method developed by a team at ...

“I think we were just made to respond to human touch,” she says. “The gloved hand doesn’t feel the same on a person’s body. There were times when I’d take the gloves off at the end of ...
