Tangram Vision, a startup building software and hardware for robotic perception, unveiled a new 3D depth sensor today called HiFi that packs powerful computer vision capabilities into an off-the-shelf ...

The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as pivotal phenomena. These effects underpin a new generation of tactile sensors ...

Robotics companies building enabling systems like sensors and LiDAR attracted $1.6 billion in 2025, as every robot needs vision capabilities. Medical robotics shows the clearest path from startup to ...

Researchers have overcome a major challenge in biomimetic robotics by developing a sensor that, assisted by AI, can slide over braille text, accurately reading it at twice human speed. The tech could ...

Meta made several major announcements for robotics and embodied AI systems this week. This includes releasing benchmarks and artifacts for better understanding and interacting with the physical world.

Robots are getting better at sniffing out smells thanks to improvements in electronic noses (e-noses). A comprehensive review of the state of robot olfaction, published in the journal npj Robotics, ...

A Swabian robotics company and a construction consulting firm are developing buildings that plan for robots from the outset, ...

As the boundaries between robots and collaborative robots (cobots) fade, the need for fast, agile and uncaged robot systems grows rapidly. Today’s cobots typically rely on power- and force-limiting ...

Samsung Electronics has released two new ISOCELL Vizion sensors — a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor, the ISOCELL Vizion 63D for high-resolution 3D images, and a global shutter sensor, the ISOCELL Vizion ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...
