Researchers have made a breakthrough that could pave the way for affordable, highly sensitive robotic touch. A team from ...

A research team led by Dr. Lim Sang-kyu in DGIST's Department of Energy and Environmental Technology has developed a smart ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves.

Driving home the point that one should never throw anything away [Peter] built a flex sensor from component packing material. It uses the black conductive foam in which integrated circuits are ...

An electrochemical sensor designed to address a global health issue that particularly impacts people in the Middle East and ...

This material can sense tiny changes in heat with ... new technique could be used to make larger and thinner infrared sensor films without losing quality. They created membranes just 10 nanometers ...

The Sensor and Functional Materials Group is jointly headed by Professor Wan Y. Shih of the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science, and Health Systems and Professor Wei-Heng Shih of the Department ...

Electrical engineers and polymer materials scientists worked to address a long-standing problem: inconsistent and irreproducible sensor data caused by poor electrical contact preparation.

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself. Researchers at Northwestern University and Israel's Tel ...

Researchers overcome a long-time challenge of flexible touch sensors, demonstrating high repeatability after careful contact preparation Researchers warn of a native insulation layer that covers ...
