Readers with long memories will remember the days when mice and other similar pointing devices relied upon a hard rubber ball in contact with your desk or other surface, that transmitted any motion to ...

Hyundai Mobis is stepping up its push into next-generation mobility, positioning robotics and software-defined vehicles (SDVs ...

As the demand for AI-driven solutions in the robotics industry rises, so does the strain on the hardware. For companies like Schaeffler, the opportunity to bring new system components—precision ...

Industrial robots perform myriad tasks including electronic and mechanical assembly, product testing, and material handling. On-board force/torque (F/T) sensors help robots verify part insertion, hold ...

A research team has developed a new soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics. A robotic gripper with the sensor mounted at the fingertip could accomplish challenging tasks such as ...

One of two Slocum gliders owned and operated by the USC Center for Integrated Networked Aquatic PlatformS (CINAPS). Image: Smith et al. A new algorithm ensures that robotic environmental sensors will ...

Chinese researchers have built a self-healing gelatin sensor that lets robots rate pain and protect themselves after damage.

Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Scientists create self-repairing robotic skin with pain detection and modular magnetic patches. The neuromorphic e-skin ...
