Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a fully integrated, sensorized robot finger. Until now, touch sensors have been difficult to integrate into robot fingers. Among the challenges were ...

The human fingertip is an exquisitely sensitive instrument for perceiving objects in our environment via the sense of touch. A team of Chinese scientists has mimicked the underlying perceptual ...

Soft actuators are an exciting class of smart devices that are actuated by an external stimulus such as light, temperature, electric potential or pneumatic pressure. Softness is one of the main ...

Sony has announced a slew of details for the PSVR 2 controller to complement its design reveal for the peripheral, with finger touch detection and tracking support confirmed for the new device. As ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

Researchers have introduced a new type of robotic finger with a sense of touch. Their finger can localize touch with very high precision over a large, multicurved surface, much like its human ...

Apple wants to make iPhone and iPad screens better able to recognize touch and gestures even in damp or humid conditions. Maybe Apple's increasing the water resistance of iPhones makes you more ...
