New technology developed by MIT uses tactile sensing to identify objects underground, and might one day help disarm land mines or inspect cables. This sharp-tipped robot finger is equipped with tactile sensing to meet the challenge of identifying buried objects.

An advanced robotic arm is more than just beautiful technology. Use of such a prosthesis is not just about confirming, as a conversation with Arie Rommers shows. He has been using a bionic arm, the Bebionic, for some time now. “You can get a really nice bionic arm, but your brain has to control it, so you have to feel good about yourself”
