Skin-like sensor allows gripper to do challenging tasks – Foodprocessing

Researchers have developed a soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics.
The team, co-led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU), mounted the sensor to a robotic gripper at the fingertip and found it could accomplish challenging tasks such as stably grasping fragile objects and threading a needle.
The research provides new insight into tactile sensor design and could contribute to various applications in the robotics field. The study has been recently published in the scientific journal…
