Next-Gen Haptic Patch: Enhancing Touch Sensation Through Innovation

Posted on by Haptic

A Northwestern University-led team of engineers has developed a new type of wearable device that stimulates skin to deliver various complex sensations. The thin, flexible device gently adheres to the skin, providing more realistic and immersive sensory experiences. Although the new device obviously lends itself to gaming and virtual reality (VR), the researchers also envision Read more about Next-Gen Haptic Patch: Enhancing Touch Sensation Through Innovation[…]

Biosensors empowering robots to detect different odors

Posted on by Haptic

A new technological development by Tel Aviv University has made it possible for a robot to smell using a biological sensor. The sensor sends electrical signals as a response to the presence of a nearby odor, which the robot can detect and interpret. In this new study, the researchers successfully connected the biological sensor to Read more about Biosensors empowering robots to detect different odors[…]

Wireless devices also use haptic feedback to talk to patient

Posted on by Haptic

Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it’s no longer needed. Now, they unveil a new, smart version that is integrated into a coordinated network of four soft, flexible, wireless, wearable sensors and control units placed around the upper body. The Read more about Wireless devices also use haptic feedback to talk to patient[…]

Papertronics – A bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper

Posted on by Haptic

Instead of ordering batteries by the pack, we might get them by the ream in the future. Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have created a bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper that can power disposable electronics. The manufacturing technique reduces fabrication time and cost, and the design could revolutionize Read more about Papertronics – A bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper[…]
