Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

spy beetle 09.07.2000

American scientists have developed another "representative" of electronic intelligence. An iron spy beetle (weight about 60 g, length 7,5 cm) was created at Vanderbilt University by order of the US military. The device is able to move in any direction and transmit an image and information about the objects surrounding it.

Unfortunately, neither the "volatility" nor the complete superminiature of the "beetle", which has the shape of one of the largest insects - the giant rhinoceros beetle, has yet been achieved. The propulsion system of the mini-spy uses piezoelectric ceramics, which actuates the 6 legs of the beetle, spending a minimum amount of energy on this.

The speed of the robot is 30 cm/h, the "payload" is 28 g of equipment (2 microvideo cameras weighing 14 g each).
