Skin-Like Tactile Sensor
Jan 31, 05 10:31 AM PDT
A sensor that functions like skin has been developed in South Korea by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST). ``Many tactile sensors have been developed so far, but ours has the highest spatial resolution capability, flexibility, softness and extensibility,'' (Lee Hyung-kyu project leader).
This advance in sensing technology is expected to make its way into robots such as the HUBO (Korea) or Asimo (Japan) as an artificial skin.
In the photo, the black letters represent what has been sensed by this device on the little wooden letters. Quite impressive I think.
