New tech out of the wearables lab of Northwestern University inventor John Rogers can go beyond the simple buzz of a typical haptic sensor to mimic complex sensations on the skin. Northwestern ...

Super-micro, low-power sensors and devices that can send and receive signals and information anytime, anywhere will become an integral part of people's lives in a hyper-connected world driven by the ...

Mechanoluminescent (ML) materials are attractive for haptic interface sensors for next-generation technologies, including bite-controlled user interface, health care motion monitoring, and piconewton ...

Tübingen/Stuttgart, February 24, 2022 – In a paper published on February 23, 2022 in Nature Machine Intelligence, a team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) ...

On November 6th, Northwestern University introduced a groundbreaking leap in haptic technology, and it’s worth every bit of attention now, even two weeks later. Full details are in their original ...

The thumb-shaped sensor is made of a soft shell built around a lightweight stiff skeleton. This skeleton holds up the structure much like bones stabilize the soft finger tissue. The shell is made from ...

Daniel's been gaming since he was old enough to reach the keyboard and has a Bachelor's Degree in Writing from the University of Tampa. Sony has filed a patent for a new haptic feedback apparatus that ...

At CES 2026, Alps Alpine is presenting components for the vehicle cockpit. They combine cameras, sensors, voice output, and ...

Striving to improve touch sensing in robotics, scientists developed a thumb-shaped sensor with a camera hidden inside and trained a deep neural network to infer its haptic contact information. When ...
