··3 min readCombining deep learning algorithms with robotic engineering, researchers have developed a new robot able to combine vision and touch.
Study reveals the ability to anticipate touch also indicates a child's ability to focus.
Parts of the prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal lobe, in addition to the somatosensory cortex, play critical roles in touch perception.
Researchers have created an artificial nervous system that may give prosthetics and robots reflexes and the ability to sense touch. The system is sensitive enough to identify letters in the Braille alphabet.
Newly designed electronic skin allows a robotic hand to sense differences in temperature between hot and cold. Additionally, the skin can interpret computer signals to help the hand reproduce sign language, researchers report.
A new study reports some aspects of autism spectrum disorders are linked to defects in how peripheral nerves communicate sensory information to the brain.
New research shows babies are able to anticipate touch while still in the womb.
A new bionic fingertip that is surgically connected to nerves in the upper arm allows amputees to feel texture, a new study reports.
