It’s possible to make silicon and semiconductors somewhat flexible by using a super-thin substrate, but this brings performance issues and has other limitations. A team at the University of Houston ...

A robotic arm capable of mimicking hand gestures through data analysis of the mechanical activity of the muscles, using wearable piezoelectric sensors was developed. Piezoelectric discs were placed in ...

Humans can detect buried objects without touching them, sensing faint pressure ripples in sand. This seventh sense is called ...

If one of the finger modules suffers fatal damage during limit-pushing AI experiments, it can be removed from the base module (which connects to a robot arm) and replaced with a fresh one for minimum ...

Using only her thoughts, a Massachusetts woman paralyzed for 15 years directed a robotic arm to pick up a bottle of coffee and bring it to her lips, researchers report in the latest advance in ...

Using signals from a sensor placed on the human's arm, the robot can lift at the same time and intensity of the human, and then release the object when the human's muscle relaxes. (Joseph DelPreto / ...

A study by researchers at Queen Mary University of London and University College London has found that humans have a form of ...

Can humans sense objects tactilely without physically touching them? At least in sand, this seems to work, according to scientists.
