EPFL researchers have developed a customizable soft robotic system that uses compressed air to produce shape changes, vibrations, and other haptic, or tactile, feedback. The device holds promise for ...

Haptics—technology that recreates the sense of touch—has long been a missing piece in digital interaction. Screens can show ...

When not engaged with robotics or programming workshops, attendees could take tours of Penn’s GRASP Robotics Lab. Visitors could even high-five a humanoid PR 2 robot in the Haptic Lab. The entrance ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have designed a new robot arm that could be the low cost and easy to use the robotic device of the future. The team calls the robot arm Mantis, and it was ...

Sentante announced today that the FDA accepted its stroke treatment system into its Total Product Life Cycle Advisory Program (TAP).

Robots that can sense and act through touch? That is what Aayush Kulkarni, an undergraduate visiting student, taught a robot to do during his internship at RIT. Kulkarni is participating in the ...

Manipulation and sensing have long been considered two key pillars for unlocking robotics’ potential. There’s a fair bit of overlap between the two, of course. As grippers have become a fundamental ...
