TAGGED WITH tactile sensors
A new quadrupedal system with tactile sensing, LocoTouch, enables robot dogs to transport unsecured cylindrical objects on their backs for more than 60 meters while navigating around cones and over obstacles.
Researchers from ITMO and Almazov National Medical Research Centre have created a new metal-organic framework-based material that can be used to make fast-acting, durable sensors for detecting water and toxic molecules.
Columbia Engineering computer scientists introduce a novel system that mimics human tactile sensing capabilities in robots.
In this episode, we explore an innovative and sustainable wearable device designed by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology to improve posture and we discuss why AI isn’t just a novelty in this product but a core feature that sets it apart from the rest!
TAGGED WITH artificial skin sensors
Non-invasive, wearable sensor can identify and track lactate in low-perspiration conditions, researchers say
Researchers at Penn State develop a wearable sensor that can accurately measure the chloride ion levels of sweat in real time
A microneedle patch captures cancer biomarkers in the top-most layer of skin to detect melanoma in animal tissue samples.
A new skin-like sensor developed by an international team led by researchers at Penn State could help doctors monitor vital signs more accurately, track healing after surgery and even help patients with bladder control issues.

Robot arms could become safer in industrial settings by applying an artificial skin containing proximity heat sensors to detect humans in all directions.
In this episode, we talk about how a group of researchers were inspired by the adaptive immune system found in humans to fortify vulnerable neural networks and a joint effort between universities to create electric skin with unmatched performance.
Using a highly-scalable approach to creating dense sensor networks, yet requiring only a pair of address lines, these researchers have taken inspiration from the human somatosensory system for a rapid-response sensitive sense of electronic touch.
A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed software which lets race cars compete in motor sports without a driver. The TUM Autonomous Motorsport Team was able to take 1st and 2nd place at the Autonomous Challenges in Indianapolis and most recently at the CES in Las Vegas.
Researchers have developed the first LiDAR-based augmented reality head-up display for use in vehicles. Tests on a prototype version of the technology suggest that it could improve road safety by ‘seeing through’ objects to alert of potential hazards without distracting the driver.
Integrated photonics offers promising solutions in a range of automotive applications.
