Scientists have developed a method for robots to sense touch without artificial skin, led by the German Aerospace Centre. This innovative approach utilizes artificial intelligence to interpret signals from internal sensors, allowing robots to detect external forces and pressure. The technology promises to enhance human-robot interactions, making them more intuitive and adaptable.
The research introduces virtual buttons and sliders that can be integrated into a robot's structure, expanding interaction possibilities. With machine learning algorithms capable of recognizing traced numbers, this advancement could redefine communication between humans and robots. The implications for various industries, including healthcare and manufacturing, are significant, paving the way for more collaborative environments.
• Robots can now sense touch using AI without artificial skin.
• New technology enhances human-robot interaction through internal sensors.
AI is used in this research to interpret sensor signals for touch detection.
The algorithms developed in this study allow robots to recognize patterns and respond to touch.
These sensors are crucial for the robots to interpret touch and pressure without external devices.
The centre's recent work on touch-sensing robots showcases its commitment to innovative AI applications.
