Researchers have developed a flexible optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of ...

Built using polymer waveguides embedded in silicone, the technology could transform robotics, prosthetics, and next-gen ...

Imagine a touch sensor so thin and flexible it can feel not only where you press but also how hard. Scientists in Japan have ...

A skin-like sensor array that can convert touch directly into light signals has been built from individual-nanowire light-emitting diodes by researchers in the US. The new device appears to be more ...

With IC SLB0586A from Siemens you can build a simple touch light dimmer circuit that will allow you to adjust the lamp intensity. Together with a TIC206D triac, it enables smooth regulation of light ...

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 ...

Robots do not look human just yet, but soon they may get the "human touch." Researchers say they have developed a flexible sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and humidity simultaneously, and ...

A team from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany have developed a novel thumb-shaped touch sensor capable of resolving the force of a contact, as well as its direction, over the ...
