These simple sensors let a robot function by touch alone, allowing it to manipulate objects from a soup can to a rubber duck
A team of US researchers have added cheap touch sensors to a robotic hand, and found it can smoothly rotate objects without any visual input.
A research team led by engineers with the University of California San Diego has shown off a robotic hand that can rotate an object in its palm using touch-based sensors rather than by sight.
