Team develops embodied robotic arm 'EmArm' with human-like touch sensing

A research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed the Embodied Sensorimotor Robotic Arm (EmArm), which embeds a soft optical tactile skin into a robotic skeleton and integrates it with a real-time decision-making algorithm. According to the team, EmArm provides whole-arm tactile sensing across the upper and lower arms, can distinguish touches such as tickling and patting, respond in real time, and avoid obstacles through tactile feedback.
