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 ...

Being able to beam yourself into a robotic body has all kinds of applications, from the practical to the fanciful. Existing interfaces that could make this possible tend to be bulky, but a wireless ...

Recent advances in scientific research may allow robotic prosthetics and virtual reality simulations to be even more effective than before. Researchers in Hong Kong have developed a new, glove-like ...

[Miller] wanted to practice a bit with some wireless modules and wound up creating a robotic hand he could teleoperate with the help of a haptic glove. It lookes highly reproducible, as you can see ...

Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...

It’s possible to make silicon and semiconductors somewhat flexible by using a super-thin substrate, but this brings performance issues and has other limitations. A team at the University of Houston ...

HaptX has this week announced a new version of its virtual reality gloves announcing the launch of the new HaptX Gloves DK2. Designed to provide virtual reality uses with true contact haptics for ...

An artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled hand sensor delivering closed-loop haptic feedback appeared to be an effective nonpharmacologic intervention to decrease nocturnal scratching in patients with ...

An AI-powered wearable sensor has been shown to reduce nighttime scratching in patients suffering from dermatitis conditions involving chronic itching. As part of the peer-reviewed study published in ...
