Anna Maria Coclite is developing artificial skin, even more sensitive than our own. For burn victims and beyond, this "smart skin" has the potential to restore sensation to our body's largest organ.

Building a precision calibration resistor that is thermally linked with a precision thermistor for additional temperature ...

A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body ...

Here, we present a novel-coupling approach and demonstrate two sensor applications: fill-level sensing and touch sensing. With a package containing a stack of silicone and epoxy, we achieve excellent ...

In the context of robot grasping and manipulation, realistic simulation requires accurate modeling of contacts between bodies and, in a practical level, accurate simulation of touch sensors. This ...

Scientists unveil a low-cost, gelatin-based robotic skin that senses touch, heat, and cuts. The skin could give robots and prosthetics a lifelike sense of feel using fewer components.
