Giving robots sight and hearing is fairly straightforward these days, but equipping them with a robust sense of touch is far more difficult.

The new robot arm, with a rudimentary sense of touch equipped, can reach around and pick out a desired object by touch alone. A sense of touch in robots has been a steadily developing goal.

In commerce, a sense of touch can give robots the ability to handle delicate items and stock shelves. In the home, touch would let robots know if they bump into someone or grab fingers too hard.

SynTouch, a California company working to give robots a human-like sense of touch, was recently awarded $2.5M in grants from the National Science Foundation and the Office of Congressionally ...

Researchers are working to develop cars, planes and drones “spidey senses,” or sensors, that would allow vehicles to process data faster and avoid hazards.
