Embedded sensors may provide robots with sensory capabilities

Not satisfied with the nature-inspired soft robots they’ve already created, a Harvard University (Harvard) research team is planning to install embedded sensors that will let their creations sense movement, pressure, touch, and temperature like living organisms do. In fact, reported an AlphaGalileo article, they based the idea upon the sensory capabilities of the human body. Previous Harvard-designed robots can […]

Researchers have developed a “highly stretchable rechargeable lithium ion battery” for the next generation of wearable electronics

The next generation of wearable electronic devices may carry one new innovation in tow: stretchable lithium-ion batteries. Currently, the typical wearable is powered by conventional types of batteries, meaning that devices usually have to be built around the battery itself. Batteries count as one of the major components of most electronic devices, so this really […]
