MACHINE BREAKTHROUGH: Robots gain senses as they become sensitive to TOUCH

SCIENTISTS have moved one step closed to making robots like humans after machines have become sensitive to touch.

Experts at Deakin University in Australia have developed a robot which can let the person controlling it know what the robot is physically feeling in what is being heralded as a major breakthrough in both surgery and robotics.

The machine, named HeroSurg, will initially be used to improve keyhole microsurgery.

It will allow surgeons to feel what the robot is feeling during operations as it gives haptic feedback – giving the user a sense of the machines touch via forces, vibrations or motions.

The machine was built by experts at Deakin and Harvard Universities, along with Professor Suren Krishnan who said that the major improvement is that experts will be able to differentiate tissue through touch.
