A new artificial skin unveiled at CES 2026 could give robots human-like sensitivity, helping machines better understand ...

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 ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as pivotal phenomena. These effects underpin a new generation of tactile sensors ...

Imagine a world where robots can feel, just like you and me. It’s not a scene from a sci-fi movie, but the exciting reality that Meta, the tech giant formerly known as Facebook, is working tirelessly ...

Meta made several major announcements for robotics and embodied AI systems this week. This includes releasing benchmarks and artifacts for better understanding and interacting with the physical world.

Chinese researchers have developed a novel "e-skin" that allows robots to mimic our ability to touch and feel pain.
