Robots that replicate the sense of touch..!

Numerous roboticists worldwide were trying to develop robotics systems that can replicate the human sense of touch. Researchers at Beihang University in Beijing created tactile sensing techniques that could be applied to robotic fingers made of soft materials. This technique is stimulated by proprioception, the biological mechanism that allows mammals to perceive or be aware of their body’s position and movements. “The idea behind our recent paper is based on the proprioception framework found in humans, which is what determines our body position and load on our tendons/joints,” Chang Cheng,…
