Many people mistake the growth in capacitive touch sensors as the adoption of new technology. But the fact is advances in mixed-signal programmable devices, those that combine analog and digital into ...

Researchers have developed an L3 F-TOUCH sensor to enhance tactile capabilities in robots, allowing it to 'feel' objects and adjust its grip accordingly. Researchers from Queen Mary University of ...

Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. The two began working together last ...

Researchers in Japan have developed the first artificial-skin patch that does not affect the touch sensitivity of the real skin beneath it. The new ultrathin sensor, which is made from multilayers of ...

Wearable tech is getting smaller all the time. The latest example comes from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, where researchers have developed a silicone pressure sensor able to be ...

Tel Aviv University's new and groundbreaking technology inspires hope among people who have lost their sense of touch in the nerves of a limb following amputation or injury. The technology involves a ...

A new tactile sensor can detect surface shapes and structures, showing advantages over existing sensors, according to new research. A team of researchers have developed an artificial tactile sensor ...

During the last two months, announcements of new touch sensors and touch-sensor capabilities have arrived from Silicon Labs, Freescale, and Atmel. But the technologies differ and give engineers a ...

Machines are mastering vision and language, but one sense they're lagging behind on is touch. Now researchers have created a sensor-laden glove for just $10 and recorded the most comprehensive tactile ...

The “electronic skin,” inspired by the nervous system, can sense temperature, pressure, or humidity. It could be used to give prosthetic limbs a more complex sense of touch. Humans are amazing: Your ...
