Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor ...

Researchers have built a force sensor the size of a grain of rice that lets robots feel pressure and twisting forces using light, and it's already finding hidden tumors in tissue during early ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents a significant advancement in robotic tactile sensing technology. Researchers have developed a novel soft tactile unit named the F 3 T sensor, which can ...

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 ...

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all-optical' ...
