CMU researchers paired acoustic resonance sensors with machine learning to create a controller that is easier to manipulate than traditional models and could help people with limited fine-motor skills ...

A new type of robotic hand developed at The University of Texas at Austin demonstrates such sensitive touch that it can grasp objects as fragile as a potato chip or a raspberry without crushing them.

There have been many questions about what direction Arduino would take after being bought by Qualcomm. Now it would seem that we’re getting a clearer picture. Perhaps unsurprisingly the ...

Research findings are available online in the journal Science. The original story “ Elephant whiskers act like touch sensors built into the trunk ” is published in The Brighter Side of News. Like ...

A flexible electronic skin stacks carbon nanotube layers to sense touch position and pressure simultaneously, performing classification through its physical structure rather than external processors. ...

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 ...

LAS VEGAS — In the high-energy gaming halls of CES 2026, where the latest virtual reality headsets and haptic vests compete for attention, a quiet breakthrough from Scotland is promising to change how ...

This all-purpose presence sensor is a master at monitoring indoor activity and linking it to smart home features you already use. Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and ...

Aqara has announced the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400, a new presence sensor that it says is precise enough to suss out whether you’re sitting, standing, or lying down. The FP400 builds on several past ...
