City University of Hong Kong
AZoSensors speaks with Dr. Yajing Shen, Associate Professor at CityU’s Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME). Dr. Shen is part of a team comprised of researchers from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and the University of Hong Kong (HKU), that developed a novel tactile sensor with several characteristics matching those of natural skin. Dr. Shen was one of the co-leaders of the study, the findings of which have been recently published in the scientific journal Science Robotics, titled “Soft magnetic skin for super-resolution tactile sensing with force self-decoupling.”

Novel soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics for robots
A joint research team co-led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a new soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics. A robotic gripper with the sensor mounted at the fingertip could accomplish challenging tasks such as stably grasping fragile objects and threading a needle. Their research provided new insight into tactile sensor design and could contribute to various applications in the robotics field, such as smart prosthetics and human-robot interaction.
