New research could improve robot performance when a light touch is needed, such as in health care and manufacturing.

The technology, called Fragile Object Grasping with Tactile Sensing (FORTE), combines advanced tactile sensing with soft robotics.
The breakthrough could improve robot performance when a light touch is needed, such as in health care and manufacturing.
