Researchers at the University of Tel Aviv have developed a robot that can "smell" using an innovative biological sensor. The sensor transfers electrical information in response to the presence of an ...

Dash created Kamigami robots to bring programmable robotics to the mass market. Its low price point makes it the most accessible robotic toy ever. The DIY nature of Kamigami along with the simplicity ...

At first, the horse that greeted press attendees at an October 20 event at Mount Vernon looked decidedly analog. But as a Virginia Tech professor turned Mikey around, an unusual bit of technology came ...

The researchers say that the biological sensor sensitivity to smell is 10,000 times higher than that of existing electronic devices. A new technological development by Tel Aviv University has made it ...

Robotiq says it has combined adaptive gripping with high-frequency tactile sensing, enabling robots to generalize across objects.

Over the past two decades, humanoid robots have greatly improved their ability to perform functions like grasping objects and using computer vision to detect things since Honda’s release of the ASIMO ...

A pet dog sits on command, but nobody expects an insect to follow human instructions. So it may come as a surprise to learn that researchers recently succeeded in controlling cockroaches with tiny ...

A research team has developed a new soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics. A robotic gripper with the sensor mounted at the fingertip could accomplish challenging tasks such as ...

Robot navigation systems can be complicated to design — they need software algorithms, electronics, and mechanical components. They must be able to move accurately, and they need sensors to gather ...

(Nanowerk News) Achieving human-level dexterity during manipulation and grasping has been a long-standing goal in robotics. To accomplish this, having a reliable sense of tactile information and force ...
