A soft armband that lets you steer a robot while you sprint on a treadmill or bob on rough seas sounds like science fiction. Engineers at the University of California San Diego have now built ...

A soft patch on the arm could soon let you steer robots with simple hand movements, even while your whole body is in motion. That is the promise of a new wearable system from engineers at the ...

Skin-conformal electronics that naturally adhere to the body are transforming human–machine interfaces (HMIs) by enabling intuitive, real-time gesture recognition with broad potential in immersive ...

The sensor that simultaneously perceives bending strain and magnetic field has the potential to detect the finger bending state and hand position of the human and robot. Based on unique ...

(Nanowerk News) Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In ...

Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent study, ...

Wearable technology uses everyday gestures to reliably control robotic devices even under excessive motion noise, such as when the user is running, riding in a vehicle or in environments with ...
