Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor ...

Researchers in China have developed a rice-sized optical sensor that could give surgical robots ...

Researchers have built a force sensor the size of a grain of rice that lets robots feel pressure and twisting forces using light, and it's already finding hidden tumors in tissue during early ...

If you wanted to build a robot that chased light, you might start thinking about Raspberry Pis, cameras, and off-the-shelf computer vision systems. However, it needn’t be so complex. [Ed] of [Death ...

If you ever built a line following robot, you’ll be nostalgic about [Jeremy’s] light-seeking robot. It is a very simple build since there is no CPU and, therefore, also no software. The trick, of ...

As the boundaries between robots and collaborative robots (cobots) fade, the need for fast, agile and uncaged robot systems grows rapidly. Today’s cobots typically rely on power- and force-limiting ...

Researchers built a flexible graphene aerogel pressure sensor with extreme sensitivity, 20,000-cycle durability and uses in wearables and soft robotics. (Nanowerk News) A research team has developed a ...
