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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Apple has replaced the Touch ID fingerprint scanner with Face ID facial recognition on many of its flagship devices, but plenty of people prefer the old system (traditionally embedded in the trusty ...
