Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

Robots are starting to flinch. New generations of electronic skin can register heat, pressure and even damaging force, then ...

Human skin transmits sensory information as electrical pulses, or spikes, that encode signals related to pressure and pain. NRE-skin mimics this biological process by converting pressure ...

The researchers behind the recent work, based in China, decided to implement something similar for an artificial skin that ...

H2L, a Tokyo-based technology startup, has launched the Capsule Interface. This breakthrough device lets you control robots with your entire body, transmitting not just movement but also physical ...

As robots enter human workplaces, leaders must account for key interaction dynamics, since trust, safety, pacing and ...

Human–robot collaboration and interaction represent a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field in which robotics, artificial intelligence and human factors engineering converge to develop systems that ...

Australian company Cortical Labs launched the world's first commercial biological computer made from human brain cells fused with silicon hardware. As reported in New Atlas, the CL1 uses 800,000 ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as ...

The new training method doesn't use sensors or onboard control tweaks, but a single camera that watches the robot's movements and uses visual data. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

This article was commissioned in conjunction with the Professors’ Programme, part of Prototypes for Humanity, a global initiative that showcases and accelerates academic innovation to solve social and ...
