Scientists have developed a color-changing tactile sensor that lets robots visualize touch in real time, paving the way for more precise manufacturing, prosthetics, and robotic surgery.

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

An AI-powered 3D vision system can help robots detect reflective, transparent, and low texture objects that often confuse ...

By making quantum sensors more precise, these entangled states could one day help guide navigation when GPS is unavailable or reveal hidden underground resources such as minerals, oil or gas. Close ...

Abstract: An important logistics application of robotics involves manipulators that pick-and-place objects placed in warehouse shelves. A critical aspect of this task corresponds to detecting the pose ...

The robot on the trade show floor looks effortless. It glides toward a bin, identifies the object, reaches in, and places the item exactly where it needs to go. The crowd nods. Investors take notes.

Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have developed a new vision-based system that allows robots to accurately grasp transparent and reflective objects without relying on depth sensors. The ...

The fields of manufacturing, logistics, and even restaurants are increasingly moving toward automation, with robots being employed for a wide range of tasks. One of the most critical applications of ...

Abstract: Accurate visual detection of transparent and reflective objects remains a challenging issue for mobile manipulators. For the most common depth cameras and LiDAR sensors, the distinctive ...

The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their manipulation strategies based on the objects they are working with, ...
