Electronics-free robotics could feel and react instantly with new soft sensors
SMRTR summary
Researchers at the National University of Singapore built a soft sensor called ME-SOFS that lets robots feel touch and react instantly with zero electronics. It converts pressure into fluid flow, triggering robotic movement mechanically. The system works underwater, resists extreme heat, and could advance prosthetics and human-robot interaction.
