Robotic sensor developer PaXini Tech has raised more than 1 billion yuan ($145 million) in a new financing round, pushing its ...

ASU and Freeport are building robots and sensors to speed copper sorting and shrink processing waste in Arizona.

Robotics technology that not only performs simple tasks but also supports humans in all their tasks is among the key technologies in industrial manufacturing. But this requires that robots be able to ...

A wave of recent research has brought robotic touch sensitivity closer to human fingertips than ever before, driven by graphene-based composites and machine learning that let artificial skins detect ...

Force/torque (F/T) sensors are critical components of robot systems used for assembly, test, and other applications. Sensor systems help robots verify part insertion, apply a constant force during ...

Robots that work alongside humans need two different sensing abilities. They must detect people ...

Around 60% of Canadian employees can expect their job to be transformed through artificial intelligence (AI). For many, AI ...

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 ...

Luggage lying around unattended at an airport justifiably triggers the jitters. The hazardous task of getting up close to inspect what could potentially be a bomb that could explode any time ...

Robots could soon handle objects with the same dexterity as humans thanks to a flexible sensor skin developed by engineers from the University of Washington and UCLA. Bio-inspired sensor skin wraps ...

A lot of time and energy is currently going into developing technologies that give robots a sense of touch. In particular, scientists are developing things like artificial skin that lets robots know ...

We've seen robotics improve by (literal) leaps and bounds recently, but what about more nuanced things, like a fine sense of touch? Researchers at MIT and Northeastern University are showing off a new ...
