Skin for Robots

by admin on June 10th, 2005


NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is working on a sensor-embedded skin for robots that will include more than 1,000 infrared sensors that would detect an object, and send the information to the robots software.

The scientist behind the project, Vladimir Lumelsky says: “Robots should be able to react, but today’s robots can’t. That’s the difference and that’s got to change for exploration.”

Starts to make you think that the future may just about be here.
