Soft robots may not be in touch with human feelings, but they are getting better at feeling human touch.Cornell University researchers have created a low-cost method for soft, deformable robots to detect a range of physical interactions, from pats to punches to hugs, without relying on touch at all. Instead, a USB camera located inside the robot captures the shadow movements of hand gestures on the robot’s skin and classifies them with machine-learning software.
The group’s paper, “ShadowSense:…
