Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes ...

Researchers in China built a neuromorphic robotic skin that lets humanoid robots sense pain and react instantly to harm.

The startle response, often recorded as an eye-blink reflex, is a defensive measure believed to reflect emotional processing. Patients with alcohol use disorders (AUDs) show abnormal startle-reflex ...

The startle response is a sudden, reflex-like response to an unexpected stimulus, such as a loud noise or bright light. It is an unlearned and largely unconscious defense mechanism shared by animals ...

FOR many years clinicians have noted a correlation between the level of thyroid function and the speed of tendon reflexes. As early as 1924 Chaney, at the Mayo Clinic, attempted to quantitate the ...

Researchers in China have created a neuromorphic robotic e-skin (NRE-skin) that allows humanoid robots to sense touch and ...

Robotic boots providing superhuman reflexes can help your balance. Our new study shows that the key to augmenting balance is to have boots that can act faster than human reaction times. When people ...
