While roboticists have introduced increasingly advanced systems over the past decades, most existing robots are not yet able to manipulate objects with the same dexterity and sensing ability as humans ...

A new multimodal robotic hand designed by USC researchers integrates thermal, inertial, and tactile sensing to enable safe, ...

Engineers create ultra-fast robotic skin that mimics human touch, enabling precise grip control and real-time adjustments in ...

We don’t know if picking blackberries at scale is something people enjoy doing. But if you do, we have bad news. The ...

Today, heartier fruits like blueberries and pears are commonly harvested by machines. And rougher automated harvesting machines are used for blackberries that will be frozen or processed. The human ...

The fabric sensor helps robots feel touch. It lets them hold things, sense slipping, and adjust grip to work safely and ...

We describe a force-controlled robotic gripper with built-in tactile and 3D perception. We also describe a complete autonomous manipulation pipeline consisting of object detection, segmentation, point ...

In the fingertip, a six-axis force sensor and distributed force sensors are installed allowing the TWENDY-ONE hand to grasp various objects such as soft plastic or paper cup stably and manipulate ...

July 25 (UPI) -- A research team led by engineers with the University of California San Diego has shown off a robotic hand that can rotate an object in its palm using touch-based sensors rather ...

The hand can quickly and accurately detect textures, alter its force on delicate objects, and continuously track its path of motion. One of the many demonstrations of the robot's performance was ...

Sensing the force in this case requires no Jedi training, only a disc-shaped force/torque sensor attached at the wrist of the robot arm. ATI's force/torque sensors consist of a transducer, shielded ...
