There’s a new startup that is working on tactile robotic skin that allows machines to feel objects rather than relying on vision.
This could be the next gen in robotic innovation for the likes of the mushroom sector too.
Edinburgh based Touchlab are developing dexterous robotic hands that have an ability to feel objects and allow for complex interactions such as picking delicate fruit.
The company is among nine projects that received £23.3 million in UK government funding to help solve the problem of roboto dexterity.
