Several researchers have recently published their findings in providing robots with sensitivity. A Korean research team has developed an electronic skin that can sense tactility just as humans do. And a team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) has introduced a soft haptic sensor that uses computer vision and a deep neural network to accurately estimate where objects come into contact with the sensor and how large the applied forces are. They both work to the aim of robots being able to feel their environment as accurately as humans and animals.
