Over the past decades, roboticists have developed increasingly advanced systems that can emulate some human capabilities and effectively tackle various real-world tasks. To reliably grasp, manipulate ...

A Chinese research team has recently developed the world's first robotic hand system that combines full-hand high-resolution tactile perception with complete motion capabilities - the F-TAC Hand. This ...

Engineers working to add "muscle sense" to prosthetic limbs found that tactile feedback on the skin allowed blindfolded test subjects to more than double their ability to discern the size of objects ...
