A better interface between humans and machines?

International research team develops bimodal “electronic skin” Through the crafty use of magnetic fields, scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the Johannes Kepler University in Linz have developed the first electronic sensor that can simultaneously process both touchless and tactile stimuli. Prior attempts have so far failed to combine these functions on a single device due

Are people more reserved about robots than they were five years ago?

In Europe, people are more reserved regarding robots than they were five years ago. This is shown in a new study published by scientists from Linz and Würzburg. Robots performing in surgeries, robots in automobile production, and robots in caregiving. In some areas, the machines are already well-established, in others they are on the rise.

Artificial Limbs Rewired to Nerve Endings Restore Patient Sensations

Austrian scientists have developed the first artificial leg that stimulates “feeling” for the patient. According to AFP, The prosthetic limb has sensors that connects to rewired nerve endings in the patient’s stump, so that the patient can feel the leg being moved as if it were a real one. Austrian amputee Wolfgang Rangger was the

New Imaging Device That Is Flexible, Flat, and Transparent

Fluorescent light traveling through polymer sheet may lead to user interface devices that respond to gestures alone Digital cameras, medical scanners, and other imaging technologies have advanced considerably during the past decade. Continuing this pace of innovation, an Austrian research team has developed an entirely new way of capturing images based on a flat, flexible,
