A New Method Might Finally Offer Tactile Sensation in Robotic Fingers

Human senses are hard to replicate. Despite this challenge, roboticists from around the world have spared no effort in the pursuit of novel robotic systems that can artificially emulate the familiar sense of human touch, and researchers just developed a new tactile sensing method that could enhance robotic materials composed of soft materials, according to a recent study shared on a pre-print server.
