IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics.

- A research team led by DGIST Professor Cheol Song has developed a fiber optics-based sensor system that simultaneously measures force and depth - Ultra-precise force and distance information is obtained from living tissue based on an optical interferometer, and new possibilities are suggested for ultra-precise surgery and robotic micromanipulation

A team of researchers have developed an artificial tactile sensor that mimics the ability of human skin to detect surface information, such as shapes, patterns and structures. This may be one step closer to making electronic devices and robots that can perceive sensations such as roughness and smoothness.
