Researchers reported about the new type of sensor, which will give light touch to robots. It allows the machines to ‘feel’ surfaces by using electricity and tiny particles. The device will give tactile sensitivity to robot, which is equivalent to human fingers. According to Vivek Maheshwari and Ravi Saraf of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, the electroluminescent film glowed in response to an applied force. A specialized camera will capture this light and translate into picture, which is as similar to the touching and feeling an object. Now Surgeons can use their sense of touch to find tumors or gallstones. The film is made of alternating layers of gold and semi conducting cadmium-sulfur nano-particles separated by non conducting or dielectric films. These humanoid robots can sense shapes, hardness and manipulate object, which is not possible by vision alone. Via: eWeek

Are you bald? If yes then don’t worry because British biotechnology firm, Intercytex is very soon going to bring before you a robot that will definitely help you in treating your baldness by growing new hair follicle cells. Actually, the company is determined that the advent of this robot will really work because they tested this treatment on seven men with baldness and five of those men got positive results. In this connection, chief executive of Intercytex Nick Higgins said: We take a very small sample of the dermal papilla cells and then grow them in a special medium until we get 10,000 fold. Then we take a very fine needle and we inject them under the skin and a new hair will grow at each point of injection. Don’t you think it is going to solve one of your major problems, which was being slept over by you for a long time? So get ready to rejuvenate yourself. Via: medindia
