| Electronic Glove Gives Robots Human-Like Sense Of Touch |
| 2018-11-26 |
| [FORBES] A touching innovation out of Stanford. A new paper in the Nov. 21 Science Robotics sheds new light on how robots could take a more human approach in the future. Chemical engineer and Stanford professor Zhenan Bao and her team at Bao Labs have developed an electronic glove with sensors designed to give robotic hands a sense of touch -- theoretically enabling a human degree of coordination and pressure sensitivity. "This technology puts us on a path to one day giving robots the sort of sensing capabilities found in human skin," Bao said in a statement. The gloves achieve this effect by simultaneously measuring the intensity and direction of pressure -- and demonstrated a capability of touching and handling berries and pingpong balls without destroying them. |

| #1 ....a capability of touching and handling berries and pingpong balls without destroying them. I too, have been concerned about the grip. |
