Low-cost sensor glove could lead to robots that identify objects by touch

MIT has developed an inexpensive sensor glove that helps researchers put together massive databases that allow an artificial intelligence algorithm to figure out how humans can identify objects by touch. Called the Scalable TActile Glove (STAG), it uses 550 tiny pressure sensors to generate patterns that could one day be used to create improved robotic manipulators and prosthetic hands.
