The president's uncanny valley robot takes the oath of office for theme park goers in Orlando, Florida.

This article presents a novel robot skin that integrates both proximity and tactile sensors in a nursing robot to maximize the safety of patient transfer tasks. Two types of sensors are mounted on a ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Synthetic skins inspired by cephalopod chromatophores have been developed to enable rapid, programmable color switching in soft robots and wearable devices.

Researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and UCL have developed a new type of electronic skin. In research published on June 11, scientists unveiled a conductive gel that detects heat ...

A team of scientists from the University of Cambridge and University College London has created a highly responsive synthetic skin designed to help robots sense their surroundings in a way that ...

The robotic skin is not as sensitive as human skin but it can reportedly detect signals from over 860,000 pathways in the material, enabling it to recognise different types of touch and pressure. The ...

The study, published in Science Robotics, details the development of the flexible, conductive skin, which is easy to fabricate and can be melted down and formed into a wide range of complex shapes.

A low-cost, durable, highly sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that enables robots to detect information about their surroundings in a way that’s similar to humans has been developed by Dr Thomas George ...

A new synthetic "skin" gives robots the human touch. The low-cost, durable and highly-sensitive material can be added to robotic hands just like a glove, say scientists. It enables automatons to ...

Although the new robotic skin is not as sensitive as human skin, the researchers say it can detect signals from more than 860,000 tiny pathways in the material. That enables it to recognise different ...
