In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli.

In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, EPFL researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli.

However, sometimes a bead jams and a magnetic sensor figures that out so the controller can reverse a bit and try again. You’d think the color detection would be tough.

Another step toward more lovable robots: a new type of sensor might enable us to poke a robot as if it had the squishy belly button of the Pillsbury Dough boy.

New electromyography (EMG) sensor technology that allows the long-term stable control of wearable robots and is not affected by the wearer's sweat and dead skin has gained attention recently ...
