EBE Sensors + Motion has introduced a touch sensor evaluation board for challenging environments. It implements a technology branded ‘TCRC’, which is aimed at operating panels in industry, ...

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 ...

A modern table lamp is created using walnut wood and vibrant blue pearlescent epoxy resin for a striking, contemporary design. The walnut wood is carefully treated with Hemel wood oil 2c ...

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself.

A mutual-capacitive touch-sensor read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) with a differential sensing scheme is proposed to reduce the driving pulse amplitude of touch sensor panel (TSP) down to 0.4 V. This ...

Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has spent his career cataloging the neurons beneath everyday sensations.

Create a smart blind stick using Arduino to help visually impaired individuals navigate safely. This DIY project uses an ultrasonic sensor, buzzer, and LED indicators to detect obstacles and provide ...

Meta unveils three tools and benchmarks to enhance robot touch perception, dexterity, and human-robot collaboration in real-world settings.

Meta says it's partnering with sensor firm GelSight and Wonik Robotics, a South Korean robotics company, to commercialize tactile sensors for AI.

Overall, though, Oddo envisions a future where skin-based sensors and joint-based ones are merged to give robots a more comprehensive sense of touch.

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ...
