AI BriefingAmazon and University of Michigan Give Robots a Sense of Touch
Key point
Amazon and the University of Michigan have improved robots' ability to learn tactile sensing through the physics-based simulator HydroShear.
Details
HydroShear, a new physics-based simulator jointly developed by Amazon and the University of Michigan, has been unveiled. This technology helps robots learn how to use their sense of touch when performing complex manipulation tasks.
The key feature of HydroShear is that capabilities learned in the simulation environment transfer to the real world without a sense of discontinuity. This allows robots to perform precise object manipulation in the real world based on experience gained in the virtual world.
