Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor utilizing inexpensive LEDs and dyes that resulted in a stretchable skin-like material able to detect deformations, including pressure, bending, ...

Robotic functionality and how we use virtual and augmented reality could do well with a bit of stretching. Cornell researchers have developed a stretchable sensor that is based in fiber optics and ...

When it comes to robotics and prosthetics, it’s all about replicating real human motions. A key goal in the development of effective prosthetics has been to find ways to ensure they are able to sense ...

Correction: An earlier version of this story implied that MC10's electronics were merely flexible and not stretchable. Both Zhu's electronics and MC10's are both flexible and stretchable. Dr. Yong Zhu ...

(Nanowerk News) In the future, soft robotic hands with advanced sensors could help diagnose and care for patients or act as more lifelike prostheses. But one roadblock to encoding soft robotic hands ...

The development of bioinspired electronic skin plays a pivotal role in enhancing robotic environmental perception and ...

A team of scientists at Cornell University has created a stretchable fiber-optic sensor that detect exactly what you’re doing with your fingers — a capability they say could revolutionize the way we ...

In a recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, a team of researchers from North Carolina State University (NC State) have created a stretchable strain sensor that demonstrates ...

Engineers at Stanford University and at Georgia Institute of Technology have created a small, autonomous device with a stretchable/flexible sensor that can be adhered to the skin of cancer-bearing ...

Cornell researchers have showcased a new fiber-optic sensor they have built, that combines low-cost LEDs and dyes, resulting in a stretchable “skin” that detects deformations such as pressure, bending ...

In the future, soft robotic hands with advanced sensors could help diagnose and care for patients or act as more lifelike prostheses. But one roadblock to encoding soft robotic hands with human-like ...
