A color-based sensor to emulate skin's sensitivity Date: December 1, 2023 Source: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Summary: In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable ...

In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, EPFL researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli.

Incorporating the trained machine learning algorithm meant the robotic sensor could read braille at 315 words per minute with 87.5% accuracy, twice the speed of a human reader and about as accurate.

Addressing these fundamental issues, the research team developed the world's first meta-structure-based 3D auditory sensor capable of position recognition using only a single sensor.

The team’s synthetic version closely replicates this mechanism and functions as a dynamic color-changing skin. “We are working in an emergent area sometimes called autonomous materials,” said Stephen ...

The sensor is lightweight, low-cost, and wireless, making it an affordable option for retrofitting existing robot hands and graspers. The human hand can sense pressure, temperature, texture, and pain.
