A new robotic finger can sense what it’s holding using just a tiny built-in camera, replacing traditional force sensors with smart vision. This approach could make future robots safer, cheaper, and ...

Researchers have developed an ultrasensitive, human-like robotic ‘finger’ capable of safely performing routine physical examinations like a medical doctor would. They say the ‘robodoctor’ could be ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a soft robotic “finger” with a sophisticated sense of touch that can perform routine doctor office examinations, ...

A new approach to simulating biologically inspired robotics can cut the design and training of tactile robots from eighteen months to two weeks, new research suggests.
