Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

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 ...

Thermal sensors and synthetic data can help train robots for a wider range of scenarios than traditional sensors alone, says Bifrost AI.

Textbooks that provide a broad algorithmic perspective on the mechanics and dynamics of robots almost unfailingly serve students at the graduate level. Introduction to Autonomous Robots offers a ...

Force/torque (F/T) sensors are critical components of robot systems used for assembly, test, and other applications. Sensor systems help robots verify part insertion, apply a constant force during ...

XELA Robotics ( a specialist in advanced 3D tactile sensor technology, has successfully integrated its uSkin® sensors into a Tesollo DG-5F five-fingered anthropomorphic robot hand – a popular model ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

Birds are magnificent creatures that can teach us a lot about the art of flying, so it is only logical for humans to study them to come up with smarter, more efficient, and useful types of aircraft.

One motion, one mistake, one lesson at a time.” That mantra, repeated by operators inside a sprawling 4,000‑square‑meter facility in Shanghai, captures the essence of China’s latest push in humanoid ...

An IEEE senior member discusses the results of the organization's global study on the potential impact of AI robotics.
