This Fingertip Sensor Could Make Robots Feel
Description
<b> by Anthony Falco</b>
University of Minnesota researchers have developed a tiny sensor</a> that can be 3D-printed directly onto fingertips…allowing a robot to one day get a sense of touch or a human to regain it after an injury. The early prototype consists of two layers of silicone and a sandwiched coil that conducts electricity when compressed. The printing process takes a few minutes but it needs to set overnight.Researchers hope to next print the sensor on a real human hand…and unlock our bionic potential!The post This Fingertip Sensor Could Make Robots Feel</a> appeared first on Vocativ</a>.
