Article Synopsis
- Replication of the human sense of touch in robots and prosthetics can enhance their interaction with the environment, and the article discusses a soft artificial fingertip with 144 tactile sensors for this purpose.
- The sensors, wrapped in 1D strips around the fingertip, are highly sensitive, measuring touch and vibrations with a resolution of 1 sensor/mm, significantly outperforming human tactile sensitivity when integrated with specialized electronics.
- The technology undergoes rigorous testing for durability and functionality, demonstrating its ability to detect touch, vibrations, and contact forces through both static and dynamic sensing capabilities.
Nanowires are often key ingredients of high-tech composite materials. The properties and performance of devices created using these, depend heavily on the structure and density of the embedded nanowires. Despite significant efforts, a process that can be adapted to different materials, compatible with current nanowire deposition methods, and that is able to control both variables simultaneously has not been achieved yet.
