(Nanowerk News) Robotics researchers have already made great strides in developing sensors that can perceive changes in position, pressure, and temperature – all of which are important for ...

Robots do not look human just yet, but soon they may get the "human touch." Researchers say they have developed a flexible sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and humidity simultaneously, and ...

Recently SmartPlanet posted on the development of research that could lead to so-called robot-human love. Now comes another step toward more lovable (or at least soft) robots. A new type of sensor ...

Researchers have equipped a robot with a novel tactile sensor that lets it grasp a USB cable draped freely over a hook and insert it into a USB port. Researchers at MIT and Northeastern University ...

New TCS3530 is an ultra-sensitive color sensor that matches the response of the human eye to visible light The sensor’s highly accurate measurements of chromaticity and illuminance support superior ...

Watching a child learn to run is a joyous, but sometimes painful experience. It seems the same is true for [James Bruton]’s impressive Sonic the Self-Balancing robot, even with bendable knees and ...

Some robots can swim. Others can kick, fetch, jump or fly. But the latest development in the field of robotics lets machines carry out an activity that is somewhat less athletic: plugging in a USB ...

In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli. Robotics ...
