Unlock the power of touch! In this deep-dive tutorial, we’re moving beyond clunky mechanical switches and harnessing the "magic" of capacitive touch. No matter if you're a beginner looking for a ...

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 Aviv ...

Researchers at China’s Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School have developed a next-generation tactile sensor called SuperTac. The project involved collaboration with multiple ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC. The solution addresses the increasing demands of mechanical engineering for ...

Abstract: Touch is regarded as an important channel in human-robot interaction. This paper presents a touch gesture recognition system that can be applied to hard-skinned robots. Related studies have ...

The Venus flytrap possesses sensory hairs that detect prey via touch stimuli. Bending of the sensory hair trigger Ca 2+ and electrical signals that propagate to the leaf blade. Saitama, Japan: Plants ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...
