Imagine a world where robots creep up on you: Electric motors just a gentle whir, hard shells changing color to blend in with their surroundings. Well, there’s no need to imagine—it’s happened.

Robotics researchers have already made great strides in developing sensors that can perceive changes in position, pressure, and temperature – all of which are important for technologies like wearable ...

Recently SmartPlanet posted on the development of research that could lead to so-called robot-human love. Now comes another step toward more lovable (or at least soft) robots. A new type of sensor ...

This sensor integrates two core technologies: a 3D acoustic perception technology that estimates the 3D positions of humans or objects even in noisy environments, and a sound wave-based dual ...

In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli. Robotics ...
