In the future, soft robotic hands with advanced sensors could help diagnose and care for patients or act as more lifelike prostheses. But one roadblock to encoding soft robotic hands with human-like ...

Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor utilizing inexpensive LEDs and dyes that resulted in a stretchable skin-like material able to detect deformations, including pressure, bending, ...

A team of scientists at Cornell University has created a stretchable fiber-optic sensor that detect exactly what you’re doing with your fingers — a capability they say could revolutionize the way we ...

Correction: An earlier version of this story implied that MC10's electronics were merely flexible and not stretchable. Both Zhu's electronics and MC10's are both flexible and stretchable. Dr. Yong Zhu ...

(Nanowerk News) In the future, soft robotic hands with advanced sensors could help diagnose and care for patients or act as more lifelike prostheses. But one roadblock to encoding soft robotic hands ...
