“Skin” of pressure sensors could help robots feel touch (VIDEO)
Caption
Researchers have proposed new design for sensors that allow for teleoperated control of robotic and prosthetic systems. As seen in the demonstration, a robotic hand powered by the team’s sensors can accurately track the gestures and movements of a human hand. To ensure the robot doesn’t damage held items, the array's design allows the hand to be highly sensitive when grabbing or holding delicate objects.
