Multiscale-structured miniaturized 3D force sensors, published in Nature Materials

At Cambridge, our team has developed a new miniaturised fingertip sensor that allows robots to detect subtle forces and recognise when an object starts to slip. The sensor can measure the full 3D force on the fingertip, helping robots distinguish between pressure and sideways forces. Big congrats to Guolin Yun and the team at University of Cambridge. The work now feeds directly into our Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) robotic dexterity programme, where we are raising the TRL level to make a difference to future dexterous robots with Zhuo Chen, Doğa Doğanay, Madhurjot Sohi and Amir Nateghi.
