For years, machines have navigated the world color-blind. LiDAR sensors – the laser-based eyes of self-driving cars, industrial robots, and inspection drones – build precise 3D maps of their ...
High-resolution tactile sensors are very helpful to robots for fine-grained perception and manipulation tasks, but designing those sensors is challenging. This is because the designs are based on the ...
In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli. Robotics ...
