Robots do not look human just yet, but soon they may get the "human touch." Researchers say they have developed a flexible sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and humidity simultaneously, and ...

Using a 3D-printed material sensitive to electric fields, researchers have created a novel sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away ...

Robots and prosthetic devices may soon have a sense of touch equivalent to, or better than, human skin as a result of Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin (ACES), which is an artificial nervous system.
