UppTalk: Can we give robots and prosthetic hands a sense of touch?

Robot technology is advancing at a rapid pace, but a major challenge remains: giving robots and prosthetic hands a sense of touch similar to our own. This would make them safer and more useful, and the technique could also be used in other medical applications. Meet researchers Zhibin Zhang and Libo Chen in a conversation about the breakthrough that can make this possible.

Participants:
Zhibin Zhang, Docent
Libo Chen, Assistant Professor
Maja Garde Lindholm, Coordinator
