Sustainable manufacturing of sensors onto soft systems using self-coagulating conductive Pickering emulsions.

Science robotics
Compliant sensors based on composite materials are necessary components for geometrically complex systems such as wearable devices or soft robots. Composite materials consisting of polymer matrices and conductive fillers have facilitated the manufact...

Active Textile Braided in Three Strands with Thin McKibben Muscle.

Soft robotics
This article presents an active textile braided in three strands with thin McKibben muscle. The fabrication of a textile using thin McKibben muscle as thread can be accomplished using a unique braiding method, developed in this study, to provide an a...

Recognition, classification, and prediction of the tactile sense.

Nanoscale
The emulation of the tactile sense is presented with the encoding of a complex surface texture through an electrical sensor device. To achieve a functional capability comparable to a human mechanoreceptor, a tactile sensor is designed by employing a ...

The Many Textures of Robotics: Flexible Materials That Conform to and Interact with the Human Body May Mean Better Outcomes for Patients.

IEEE pulse
Innovative researchers are employing flexible, rather than rigid materials in combination with new design approaches as part of the emerging field of biomedical soft robotics. The idea is to generate tools that conform to and interact with the human ...
