Unlike almost every other kind of microscope, atomic-force microscopes (AFMs) don’t use any kind of optical beam to image ...

Scientists have developed a color-changing tactile sensor that lets robots visualize touch in real time, paving the way for more precise manufacturing, prosthetics, and robotic surgery.

Abstract: High-performance three-axis force sensors are essential for robotic dexterity, with linearity being a key factor for improving measurement accuracy and simplifying force decoupling. However, ...

When you’re driving your car, you’re probably regularly looking at the speedometer to make sure you comply with the local speed limits. The method by which it works is simple enough: ...

Abstract: For elastomer-based tactile sensors, represented by vision-based tactile sensors, routine calibration of mechanical parameters (Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio) has been shown to be ...
