Researchers developed rubbery semiconductors for robotic and “smart” skins needed in gesture translation, haptic sensing for robotics, and implantable bioelectronics.

The robot works in a simple manner, following a hand placed in front of the robot’s sensors. First, the robot checks for the presence of an object in front using the ultrasonic sensor.

The Digit 360 is expected to be available for purchase next year, and Meta is inviting researchers to submit proposals for early access to the device. Meanwhile, Meta's partnership with Wonik Robotics ...

Facebook researchers propose Digit, a low-cost, high-resolution tactile sensor designed for in-hand robotic grasping tasks.

The glove uses an Arduino’s analog to digital converter to read some flex sensors. Commercial flex sensors are pretty expensive, so he experimented with some homemade sensors.
