Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR) has application in Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), to control robots, games, and machines. Here we demonstrate a soft-matter multi-layer printed electronic circuit, that can be used to detect the human gesture without the need for physical contact, except for unlockin…
Sensors that detect human presence received an increasing attention due to the recent advances in smart homes, collaborative fabrication cells, and human robot interaction. These sensors can be used in collaborative robot cells and mobile robots, in order to increase the robot awareness about the pr…
Efforts in soft-matter sensing with liquid metal (LM) have largely focused on pressure, strain, and bend sensing by measuring changes in capacitance or resistance of LM circuits embedded in a soft elastomer. Here, we show that LM electronics can be used to combine pressure sensing with proximity det…
Omnidirectional wheels used on Omniclimber inspection robot and in other robots enable a holonomic drive and a good maneuverability. On the other hand, they have a poor wheel traction and suffer from vertical and horizontal vibration, decreasing the trajectory following accuracy of the robot. In thi…
