A new humanoid robot debuted this week with a sensor-laden layer of "smart skin" designed to feel exactly where and how hard it's being touched...for industrial safety, of course. Around its frame, ...

This is an electronics project that turns anything conductive into an instrument that plays Famicom sounds. The circuit board features a one-octave (13-note) touch sensor. You can play it not only by ...

Most robots are pretty good at seeing, but touching? That’s been a much tougher problem. While humans instinctively know how hard they’re gripping a coffee mug or pressing a button, robots have ...

Robots are incredibly precise, but being gentle is not always their strong suit. A machine that can build a car with near-perfect accuracy can still apply too much pressure when working in places ...

Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor ...

Imagine a prosthetic hand that can feel the warmth of a coffee cup, or a smart bandage that tracks your pulse and breathing. Scientists are now one step closer to making these a reality —thanks to a ...

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed soft, flexible sensors that help restore a surgeon's sense of touch during minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery. These procedures allow for faster recovery ...

Apple will debut a new iPhone this year with Touch ID fingerprint recognition as its primary authentication method, all reports suggest. Apple hasn't debuted an iPhone with a fingerprint sensor since ...

Since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued its 2023 Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking to develop performance requirements for a future mandatory advanced drunk and ...

This README documents how to open, build, and run the project from CLion (recommended workflow), lists IDE recommendations and versions, explains the code layout, libraries / dependencies, components ...
