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 ... >>

A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person.

Scavenger robot 02.09.2009

Italian professor Paolo Dario has designed a cleaning robot that, using satellite navigation, moves on wheels around the city and collects all kinds of garbage.

The ultrasonic locator and video camera allow the robot to avoid obstacles, not to collide with passers-by, cars, trees and other objects. Having filled its tank, the automatic cleaner itself searches for a garbage container and dumps its burden there.

Tests of a group of such robots will be carried out in a town with a population of 5000 people.
