Inside Atlas’s uncanny stand-up: Sensors, safety, and engineering precision
Why would one of the most sophisticated humanoid robots in the world want to get up from the floor in a way no human ever would? The answer lies deep in the interaction between sensor limitations, ...
Robotic collision sensors are crash protection devices that detect a crash before or during a collision. A collision sensor sends a signal back to the robot’s brain (robot controller) in such ...
UCLA engineers developed a novel sensor that could add a sense of “touch” to robotic surgery. Robert Candler, an associate professor of electrical engineering, helped develop a haptic feedback sensor ...
The term “robot” conjures up images from myriad science fiction movies, usually of robots trying to destroy humanity. So far, we are safe, at least for the time being. Our present-day robotics ...
A cornerstone to the advancement of automation technology has been the sensor. From the deployment of increasing arrays of sensors for improved manufacturing intelligence to the development of new ...
As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its ...
Human-robot interaction (HRI) is becoming ubiquitous where both humans and robots perform tasks, while reliable robotic sensors are the prerequisite for efficient and safe HRI, especially in ...
A pioneering project to develop advanced sensors for use in robotic systems, could transform prosthetics and robotic limbs. The research project – led by University of the West of Scotland (UWS), ...

Tactile sensors are less important than the order of learning experiences for robotic hands, study shows
How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? The challenge for the human, prosthetic or robotic hand has always been to correctly learn to ...
The Terrain Commander from Textron Corporation provides the basis for the U.S. Army's unattended ground sensor (UGS) Future Combat Systems. The sensor assembly is equipped with a variety of optical, ...
