Nerve-like mesh could give robots a sense of touch
A synthetic mesh could give robots a sense of touch that is delicate as the skin on out backs, researchers have claimed. The material forms a linked sensory network similar to that of a biological nervous system — one that could help robots feel their interactions with the environment. Scroll down for video A synthetic mesh could give robots a sense of touch that is delicate as the skin on out backs, researchers have claimed The device — a sort-of stretchable optical lace — was developed by roboticists Patricia Xu and Rob Shepherd of Cornell University and colleagues. The material forms a linked sensory network similar to that of a biological nervous system — one that could help robots feel their interactions with the environment In a practical application, the optical lace would not serve as a skin coating for robots, but would act more like the flesh itself,' Professor Shepherd said.
