Description
Article documenting new research from Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute (RI) that uses ReSkin, an open-source touch-sensing “skin” made of thin elastic polymer embedded with magnetic particles to measure three-axis tactile signals in cloth, to teach robots how to feel layers of cloth and effectively fold them rather than relying on vision sensors alone.
