Recent research at Kennesaw State University is working to create robots that better understand movement, touch, and ...

Robots are becoming smarter and more common, but their ability to handle objects with human-like precision remains limited.

By learning from human touch, robots can grip objects more safely and adapt to real-world conditions without massive training data.

Microsoft launched Rho-alpha in late January 2026, a robot model that uses vision, language, and touch sensors for two-armed tasks.

Robotiq says it has combined adaptive gripping with high-frequency tactile sensing, enabling robots to generalize across objects.

Zhejiang University researchers build a flexible robotic hand that literally “sees around corners,” combining deep learning ...

Robots excel at many things, but having a good sense of touch is not among them. Whether dropping items or pinching them too tightly, which crushes the object, many robots struggle with these basic ...

Over the next decades, robots are expected to make their way into a growing number of households, public spaces, and ...

Robots often fail outside factories when things move or change. Technology helps them see, feel, and learn, so they can work ...

Robots are getting a sense of touch and a rudimentary sense of pain. A neuromorphic electronic skin can now encode tactile ...

Microsoft’s Rho-alpha pushes robots beyond assembly lines using language commands, tactile sensing, and heavy simulation ...
