Listening skills bring human-like touch to robots

Researchers give robots a sense of touch by ‘listening’ to vibrations, allowing them to identify materials, understand shapes and recognize objects just like human hands. The ability to interpret the world through acoustic vibrations emanating from an object — like shaking a cup to see how much soda is left or tapping on a desk to see if it’s made out of real wood — is something humans do without thinking. And it’s an ability that researchers are on the cusp of bringing to robots to augment their rapidly growing set of sensing abilities.
