(Nanowerk News) Robotics researchers have already made great strides in developing sensors that can perceive changes in position, pressure, and temperature – all of which are important for ...

Imagine a world where robots creep up on you: Electric motors just a gentle whir, hard shells changing color to blend in with their surroundings. Well, there’s no need to imagine—it’s happened.

Modern consumers crave touchscreens, but the screens' brittle fragility is their downfall. In order for sensors to cover anything larger — like a robot — the technology will need to be cost-effective ...

Recently SmartPlanet posted on the development of research that could lead to so-called robot-human love. Now comes another step toward more lovable (or at least soft) robots. A new type of sensor ...

In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli. Robotics ...
