Achieving human-level dexterity during manipulation and grasping has been a long-standing goal in robotics. To accomplish this, having a reliable sense of tactile information and force is essential ...

Gone are the days when robots fell over after three steps. Agibot is working on a unified architecture for four quite agile ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

Sensors allow robots to be aware of their surroundings and react dynamically to changes, says Mark J Donovan of AMS. The classic image of the robot in a factory is a vast arm stretching to perform ...

As the boundaries between robots and collaborative robots (cobots) fade, the need for fast, agile and uncaged robot systems grows rapidly. Today’s cobots typically rely on power- and force-limiting ...

(Yicai) Dec. 23 -- Fourier's recently launched six-axis force sensor for humanoid robots will be priced at just half of what ...

Robots could soon handle objects with the same dexterity as humans thanks to a flexible sensor skin developed by engineers from the University of Washington and UCLA. The skin can be stretched over ...

Aimed at robot hands and grippers, Tactaxis from Melexis is a soft tactile sensor prototype that outputs a measure of the 3D force vector acting on its surface. “This improves robots’ hands and ...

Tiny robots smaller than cells can swim, sense surroundings, and decode temperature through miniature dance-like movements ...
