This tiny grain-of-rice sensor gives robots a new sense and changes what delicate tools can detect
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor could help robotic tools and medical devices "feel" what they are touching, especially at very small scales.
