Scientists have developed a color-changing tactile sensor that lets robots visualize touch in real time, paving the way for more precise manufacturing, prosthetics, and robotic surgery.
The new tactile system allows robots to see touch in real time by instantly transforming invisible mechanical forces into vivid, dynamic color patterns.
Patients with untreatable conditions such as sight loss or loss of motor-function could be closer to a viable technology for restoring their lost sense, within a faster time frame.

Soccer officials already rely on cameras to see who’s offside and who sent the ball out of bounds. But during this World Cup, refs will use digital twins of each player to view plays from every angle.
This work presents a novel approach to fabricating soft capacitive tactile sensors using a surface crochet technique to embed conductive thread within crocheted textile substrates. The sensors are ...
New York City's Department of Transportation is expanding its use of high-tech sensors across city streets, Commissioner Mike Flynn announced this week. The devices are meant to help the department ...
Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...
Researchers built a flexible graphene aerogel pressure sensor with extreme sensitivity, 20,000-cycle durability and uses in wearables and soft robotics. (Nanowerk News) A research team has developed a ...
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 ...
Researchers developed a sensor that measures just 1.7 millimeters and can measure forces and torque in all directions using light. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a ...
