Dexterous robotic hand integrates thermal, inertial and force sensors
While roboticists have introduced increasingly advanced systems over the past decades, most existing robots are not yet able to manipulate objects with the same dexterity and sensing ability as humans. This, in turn, adversely ...
The tap trap: Android security vulnerability discovered
What we see on our mobile phone screens is not always what we are actually operating. This has been demonstrated by a research team at TU Wien (Vienna, Austria), consisting of Philipp Beer, Sebastian Roth, Marco Squarcina, ...
