Northwestern's wireless device mimics real touch by replicating vibrations, pressure, stretching, and more—delivering a ...

A new flexible hearing aid uses micro-epidermal actuators to treat conductive hearing loss, offering a non-invasive ...

Most haptic devices only deliver feedback as simple vibrations. New device applies dynamic forces in any direction to simulate a more realistic sense of touch. Small, lightweight device can enhance ...

Chinese researchers develop a shape-shifting robot that swims, crawls, and glides at 10,600m depths, aiding deep-sea research ...

A research team led by Professors Stefan Seelecke and Paul Motzki from Saarland University is using a highly versatile film ...

A study published in Engineering provides a comprehensive review of actuation and locomotion methods for miniature underwater ...

Northwestern says the new device can simulate a much more realistic sense of touch. It could even let deaf people "feel" ...

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more.

Research engineers at Saarland University and medical researchers at the Saarland University Medical Center are developing smart implants that can both monitor and promote healing in fractured bones.

The study builds on previous work from Rogers’ and Huang’s labs, in which they designed a programmable array of miniature vibrating actuators to convey a sense of touch. We built a tiny actuator that ...
