AI-powered textiles that allow humans to interact more safely and intuitively with robots

Posted on by Haptic

Professor Fabien Sorin and doctoral assistant Andreas Leber, at the Laboratory of Photonic Materials and Fibre Devices (FIMAP) in EPFL’s School of Engineering, have developed a technology that can be used to detect a body’s movements – and a whole lot more. “Imagine clothing or hospital bed sheets capable of monitoring your breathing and physical Read more about AI-powered textiles that allow humans to interact more safely and intuitively with robots[…]

A new biosensor for the COVID-19 virus

Posted on by Haptic

A team of researchers from Empa, ETH Zurich and Zurich University Hospital has succeeded in developing a novel sensor for detecting the new coronavirus. In future it could be used to measure the concentration of the virus in the environment – for example in places where there are many people or in hospital ventilation systems.

A new 3D tactile sensor that could detect wide pressure ranges

Posted on by Haptic

A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has created a three-dimensional, tactile sensor that could detect wide pressure ranges from human body weight to a finger touch. This new sensor with transparent features is capable of generating an electrical signal based on the sensed touch actions, also, consumes far less electricity than conventional pressure sensors. The Read more about A new 3D tactile sensor that could detect wide pressure ranges[…]
