Researchers at Duke University have developed a system called SonicSense that gives robots a sense of touch by “listening” to vibrations. The researchers said this allows the robots to identify materials, understand shapes and recognize objects. SonicSense is a four-fingered robotic hand that has a contact microphone embedded in each fingertip. These sensors detect and record vibrations generated when the robot taps, grasps or shakes an object.
