'Sensorized' skin helps robots understand where the hell they are

MIT scientists used sensors and AI to make bots aware of their movements

Clumsy robots have been offered hope of improving their coordination after MIT researchers found a new way to help them find their bearings.

The system gives soft robots a greater awareness of their movements by analysing motion and position data through a 'sensorized' skin.

It works by collecting feedback from sensors on the robot's body. A deep learning model then analyses the data to estimate the robot's 3D configuration.

The sensors are comprised of conductive silicone sheets, which the researchers cut into patterns inspired by kirigami - a variation of origami that that involves cutting as well as folding paper. These patterns make the material sufficiently flexible and stretchable to be applied to soft robots.

A deep neural network then captures signals from sensors to predict the best configuration f
