ROBOT - Robot device mimics human touch

  • Robot device mimics human touch.


  • BBC news states "US scientists have created a sensor that can "feel" the texture of objects to the same degree of sensitivity as a human fingertip.

    The team says the tactile sensor could, in the future, aid minimally invasive surgical techniques by giving surgeons a "touch-sensation".


    I think it It would be interesting to see how this technology scales in the future. Imagine "feeling" the rocky mountains or "feeling" the eyeball of a fly.
